Clear blond colour with fluffy head. Aroma has soft floral hop but also some stronger earthy hop pellet notes too. Flavour has a delicate soft note of pale malt. The balance is excellent and the 8% alcohol well hidden

0,44l can at home. BB 08/2021. light yellow hazy color, small white head. smells earthy, grassy, spices, peppery, bit herbal, lychee. nice smell, not much tropical fruits though. full body, soft carbonation. tastes sweet, sticky, some pines, spices, earthy, grassy, bit citric, tobacco, toffee. finishes light to medium sweet with notes of pines, grass and earthy notes. hmm, yeah, ok, not bad but also not that great, super sweet for an IPA, almost to the point where its not on point for the style.

Small whitish head, fast gone over fully milky-yellow beer. Asafoetida, strong, bit of ureum. Not very fruity. Cheesiness from the Nelson Sauvin? Cheesy, arachide (indicating fatty acids), lime peel. Lime peelflavour makes it quite aromatic despite the peanutsflavour. Finish has more hardboard, and dry hopsacks. Bit chewy, oily feel. Medium to well-carbonated, but the finish is more flat. Quite OK, but I do feel this asafoetida overload makes some Arpus beers more difficult to enjoy.

Can. Golden pour. Aroma of juicy white grape, citrus, orange, creamy oat and pineapple. Taste has bitter juicy white grape, creamy oat, orange, pineapple and yuzu-like vanilla-ish citrus. Very nice, love this hop.
