A straight-up modern American IPA. Using super soft water, it's grist is over 60% Oat and Wheat Malt layered onto biscuity and complex British Floor Malted Pale. 100% Whirlpool hopped with Oregon Cascades, fermented on English ale yeast and finally double dry hopped- with Ekuanot and brand spanking new BRU-1 hops. Expect flavours of candied lemon, resin, papaya and pineapples.

Dublin-made New England style IPA, from a can bought at the newly opened Jumbo supermarket in Ghent. Thick and foamy, egg-white, plaster-lacing, frothy head over a milky yellow-blonde robe with vaguely ochre-ish tinge. Luscious bouquet, very fresh, of freshly minced lemongrass, carambola, pink grapefruit zest, oatmeal porridge, fresh green melon, granadilla, lemon orchard, green mango, Key lime pie, milk. Sweet onset in a crisp, tropical-fruity way thanks to refreshing citric edges, impressions of starfruit, honey pomelo, unripe mango and maracuja, medium carbonated – in fact a bit on the sharp side for this style; nonetheless smooth, oatmeal porridge-ish core steeped deeply in citrusy, tropical and somewhat grassy hoppiness, bringing back all the maracuja, lemongrass and pomelo – but also adding a slight, very brief bitter element that subtly balances everything out. Lovely citrusiness here – balancing the sultry tropical side of it, which is not nearly the case in any NEIPA (not even the good ones). Maybe not the fanciest or most pompous of these Euro-brewed NEIPAs today – I guess breweries like Cloudwater, Deya and Verdant still occupy that spot – but a damn good one according to my standards, ticking all the boxes without overdoing it in the sweetness, ‘milkiness’ and ‘tropicalness’ like many others do. Deliciously decent.

C'est une IPA très appréciable que nous propose la brasserie Whiplash. Avec Ekuanot, Cascade, El Dorado et BRU-1, elle ci jouit d'une palette aromatique bien agréable. Sans ce final trop court, elle aurait été une véritable machine de guerre ! En verre nous sommes sur un blond jaune trouble avec une très fine effervescence et une mousse blanche nappant quasiment toute la surface. Le nez est très agréable sur la pêche, l'orange, le pamplemousse et la mangue avec des herbes justement dosées. En bouche, l'équilibre est très bien trouvé avec une amertume vive sans être agressive et un houblonnage à cru parfait. L’arrière-bouche est bien vive avec un bon contraste. La présence en bouche est quant à elle très honorable avec un alcool, à 6,2% qui fait bien le job. Seul hic, ce final trop court qui ne parachève pas bien cette jolie sérénade.

Lys gulbrun klar med hvitt skum. Lukter smørmalt og fløtekaramell. Lett. Maltig og floralsk. Smaker fløtekaramell, blomster og noe sitrus. Kort.

On tap at Cardinal, Stavanger. Nearly clear and very pale golden colour, moderate white head. Citric and spicy hops in the aroma. Light bodied for its strength. Moderate citric and spicy hops in the flavour. Okay, but not remarkable.
