33cl can,
Dorée, col blanc épais.
Arôme présente un nez léger sur un effet brett et un rétro fin de fruité entre agrumes et tropical avec un rétro une pointe rappelant un peu la poudre d'ail voire d'oignon. Effet brett ressort encore en retrait
Palais est léger, un peu brett sur un rétro fruité rappelant un peu la goyave et un rétro passant pas mal vers les agrumes sur un côté pamplemousse. Le tout est plutôt sec, brett, qcq éléments un peu fruits blancs/raisin blanc. Petite note épicée et herbacée en fin de bouche - on peut y déceler une once de présence de Chinook et de son aspect pin.
Effervescence reste un peu à la traîne; oscillant vers le faible.

Fairly hazy golden with a white head. Aroma of big Brett funk, barnyard, horse blanket, wet dog, manure, really Brett at its most shitty. I think there’s some fruits there but I can’t bring myself to smell this any more, it’s like sticking my nose up a horse’s ass. Flavour is light moderate sweet and moderate bitter. Medium bodied with light carbonation. Nasty.

Small, disappearing yellowish head over fully hazy orangey yellow beer. Very aromatic nose with lunaria, blossoms, citrus and just a point of asafoetida. Quite bitter for a moment, but then rapidly mellowish, more due to the watercontent than to malts. Citrus, unripe pear, starfruit. Veyr light body, watery (not enough flavour to compensate as in similar session beers); well-carbonated. Recently more and more better samples in this style have appeared, hence a bit disappointed.

Can from Etre Gourmet Webshop, Grez-Doiceau, Belgium. Consumed at home Wednesday 29th July 2020 whilst cooking a vegetable curry and listening to Marc Riley on 6Music. Pours hazy yellowy colour with a slim white head. This is not unlike the Thornbridge session beer that I have just had, insofar as it's a little too thin and not the best example of the style. However unlike the Thornbridge beer it's tropical with light mango and melon touches. Pretty good.

New Atrium creation, a hazy (New England style) session IPA with three established New World hops (Citra, Chinook and Mosaic); tasted at two different occasions last weekend, at home and at tderoeck's place. Medium thick, eggshell-white, mousy, opening head on a hazy, warm golden beer with vague ochre-ish tinge. Aroma of lychee, ripe mango, cheese spread, carambola, yellow kiwi, armpit sweat, guava, white bread, grass, lime zest, green apple, overripe pineapple, tulips, lemon thyme. Pronounced 'hoppy fruitiness' in the mouth, lots of lychee, mango, guava, green apple and hard pear impressions, lively carbonated with a soft, light-bodied mouthfeel but congruent with what one should expect at this ABV, white-bready and a tad soapy perhaps, but quickly soaked in lots of aromatic hoppiness, again mango- and lychee-like of course but mixed with a more citric aspect (grapefruit) on the one hand and a slight cheesiness and sweaty dankness on the other hand. Minerally (bit chalky) notes linger in a mildly bittering, juicy, colourful finish. Refreshing, crisp, zesty and fragrant beer, very modern as well as decent not showing off too much; a 'hazy session IPA' is certainly not the easiest concept to realize correctly and Atrium did pull it off here, that much is clear. Equally enjoyed it on both occasions.
