For this collaboration with our friend from Billie's Bier Kafétaria we wanted to brew the first cold ipa of Belgium (probably… :d). It’s hot fermented with lager yeast and then dry hopped with a generous dose of hops!

33cl can, BB 06/01/2022, batch# P337-338.
Dorée claire, col épais crémeux blanc.
Arôme nez super houblonné avec des effluves bien fruitées de fruits à noyaux, effet de pêche, raisin oscillant vers le Pinot Gris avec une petite touche de framboise - note un peu de verger - fleur de poirier et poire verte.

Palais est dank houblonné - avec un fruité délicat sur un fruité entre vin blanc et léger baies rouges - framboises, groseilles. Léger retrait fruité un peu doux, agrumes du Citra.
Le tout est aidé par une belle rondeur du riz

MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: very malty start, rather sweet, a bit fruit, some (over)ripe banana, tropical fruits. Aftertaste: nice bitterness, caramel malty, little dank, some orange peel, bit grassy, more malts, not bad, good stuff going on here.

33cl can, BB 08/10/2021, lot# P280-281.
Bière que j'avais entendu devait se tenir encore qcq temps pour être appréciée.
Couleur claire - pils claire, col épais crémeux.
Arôme au bouquet intense et plaisant alliant le côté lager et des houblons oscillant entre US et NZ - avec un côté léger tropical - exotique (mangue, goyave intense, léger passion avec une pointe d'agrumes et léger herbacé. Le côté riz est en rétro

Palais est plaisant alliant de suite le côté généreux IPA de LaSource avec une petite sécheresse levure lager - le tout relevé par des notes houblonnées tropicales - mangue, goyave, fruits à noyaux-abricot, mandarine.
Ici pas de résidu de DDH - pas plus mal pour changer. L'ajout de riz apporte un fini au palais plutôt léger mais avec une bonne complexité de bouche et un caractère unique. Cela pousse l'enveloppe presque sur une sorte de pale lager houblonnée. Petite touche épicée sur la fin.
