650 ml bottle served in a white wine glass. It pours hazy lemonish yellow, off.white sticky head. Aroma is intense pine, dry lemon, bread, funky gym t-shirt. Yeah, the last one wasn't nice. Taste is dry, fizzy, fresh and super bitter. Long-lasting finish with a load of bitterness. Mmm...

Bouteille de 650 ml. Pamplemousse, fruit de la passion et légères notes de sapin en olfactif. Profil malté de caramel et biscuit en sourdine. Puissance en demi-ton. De couleur dorée tirant sur le ambré, le liquide est très clair et développe une bonne mousse semi rocailleuse qui tient longtemps. Amertume mordante aux notes de sapinage et de fruit de la passion se terminant en une légère astringence. Le malt supporte bien avec ses tons de léger caramel et de céréales. Pourrait être plus complexe. Bonne sans plus.

Pale golden orange with a rocky white head. Light palate. Hop forward with plenty of tropical and melon notes and a very light malt backbone. Lingering bitterness without getting too dry in the finish. A flavorful and hop filled IPA that carries a light profile throughout.

Really nice ipa. It is not astringent, which is usually my issue with ipas. The malt bill actually balanced the hops. Very nicely done. Bottle in office. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
