A low,dense white head on a golden body. Lots of suspended material evident. The nose leads with caramel malt, citrus hops and some pepper. A nice IPA, but a little off the west coast IPA trail, which is not all that important. Biscuit malt and citrus hops lead the taste profile. Slightly sweet, a strong malt backbone, but hoppy citrus IBUs earn the IPA label. Melon and tropical fruit notes help smooth out the citrus hops. Medium body, solid carbonation and a smooth mouth feel

Hazy orange with a large white head. Lovely pine resin and grapefruit aroma. Slightly bready cereals, light toffee. Good mouth feel, soft carb. Medium bitter, lovely IPA.

En fût à la brasserie le 27 mars 2019. Olfactif bien houblonné aux agrumes et fruits tropicaux. Notes de poivre. De couleur dorée tirant légèrement sur l'ambré, claire, avec une petite mousse laissant sa trace sur le verre. En bouche, c'est fruité avec des notes tropicales ressemblant à du litchi et une bonne amertume résineuse en finale. De corpulence moyenne et à l'effervescence piquante. Tout à fait correcte sans plus.

Pours a hazy golden colour with a small orange hue. Nice white top with good retention and creamy lacing. Not completely filtered with lots of nice particles through it. Fresh hoppy aromas with grassy notes and citrus zest. The taste also has nice fresh hops, but not overloads. Herbal and zesty again. An easy-drinking IPA with lots of nice fruitiness. Just not sure about the West Coast title, as not a hopbomb. As an IPA, it is quite delicious.
