U.S Meets Europe S.I.P.A. - Collaborating with De Molen Brewery in the "Green Heart" of The Netherlands, we have created a wild and inventive recipe that is a unique blend of the best from both worlds! A super-charged Saison I.P.A. is born, featuring kilos of American hops to add a crazy twist to this European-style ale. The fruity, spicy flavors of this malty Double Saison are nicely complimented by an abundance of late and dry-hopping with the finest American hops.

A hazed amber IPA with a thin off white head. In aroma, loads of citrus orange pulp, and floral hops. In mouth, a sweet prange juice with light hops, not bad, but a bit too sweet. Tasted Dec. 15 2012.

75 cl. bottle, corked & caged sampled / shared @ Tim’s De Molen & assorted beers tasting // fun label, typical Molen stuff but with the two breweries logos, it looks a bit funny // dark brown, murky, creamy white head // smell is supercharged, lots of Hoppin’ Frog hops, their typical profile, works great in this context, lots of pine, touch earthly, three bark, grapefruit, bitter herbs // taste is sugar, banana, caramel – I am way more into sweetness than hoppyness, so the added sweetness works for me – bitter Hoppin’ Frog / USA hops, lots of pine, sticky, three bark, plenty of pine, sugar blended with Molen spices en spicy yeast, sharp, touch dark fruits, great blend of both breweries styles // lightly sticky, quite full with all of the hops jammed in this plus sweet, touch sticky malts // I know that loving this seems stubborn since others were quite turned off by this but I genuinely loved this & think that this is a great blend of both breweries signatures // fine stuff

Slightly hazy reddish brown colour, white head. Aroma of bubble gum, alcohol, tobacco, yeast and caramel. Sweet flavour, banana, red berries, tropical fruit and sugar. Quite cloying. Sweet sugary finish.

75cl bottle, shared with 77ships, Martinus and Tderoeck. Thanks Eugène. Acajou, col beige-café au lait. Arôme est fruité rouges et baies, léger houblon avec un bouquet restant trop doux. Palais à ce profil de fruits mûrs avec un alcool qui domine chaque gorgée. Amertume des houblons est léger et le tout me fait plus penser à un jeune barley wine. Le tout est trop sucré avec une pointe d’épice en fin de bouche. Pour moi la bière est ratée, en voulant mélanger les styles, et surtout avec un abv bcp trop haut, je ne note en rien le côté typique d’une saison et le profil IPA se retrouve noyé dans les 10% de cette bière. Déçu.

22 oz. bottle, sent from jmikolich (thanks a lot, Jim), pours a clear bronze / copper with a small tan head. Aroma is fairly alcoholic, with Belgian yeast, candied sugar, citrus hops and some cosmetic qualities. Flavour is exceedingly syrupy, with very medicinal notes of cough syrup, paint thinner and alcohol. This is pretty nasty, with a disgustingly syrupy quality and medicinal tones. What the hell were they going for? Gross.

Bottle, 75cl corked. It’s an unclear, reddish dark golden beer topped by a dense, finger-thick light beige head. The aroma is quite hoppy, with a touch of vanilla and bubble gum. Hints of alcohol, and a good dash of tropical fruits. It’s quite effervescent, full-bodied and a bit sweetish on the palate. Yeast, fruityness, some bubble gum and white sugar. Bitter finish with flavors of tropical fruits. A decent beer, but way to sugary for a Saison I think. 121109
