Can. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, slightly soft but still has emerging decent fine carbonation on the back end. Smooth malts, silky, with a pleasant light creamy sweetness. Smooth soft pine. Smooth soft citrus, mostly well rounded orange with a trace of peel. Touch of pink grapefruit, well buried. A bare pinch of hop spice on the end and some very light and very soft skunk. Easy drinking but wants a bit more hop edge for me. It is bit too mellifluous.

Draft @ Wanderlust 2021, shared with Gentse Biervereniging crew.
Dorée/pâle, col fin blanc-cassé.
Arôme est chargé en houblons - reçoit une bonne dose de tropical et agrumes - le ddh en sus est quasi de trop.

Palais met en avant cette nouvelle vague de houblons de Yakima - ici un Cryo Pop déjà utilisé par Atrium et qui ne m'avait pas spécialement enchanté. Ici, caractère légèrement huileux, chargé en agrumes avec une pointe de fruits à noyaux. Le tout avec ce caractère DDH est de trop - petite note en appui des malts pâle, cara.

Le tout, dans cette série DDH et TDh est surfait alors que tous ces houblons se suffisent à eux-mêmes sans passer par une case neipa, ddh.

Smell- weak to medium fruits, caramel, sweet, hops, sugar. Foam- thin, fruits, sweet, faint citrus and hops, burned sugar, sweetness. Head is large, white color. Appearance- simple can with rose. Hazy, yellow color. few carbonation bubbles. From- pint Taste- sweet, fruity, sugary NEIPA. Maybe even borderline too sugary... it is hard to call this a beer, but I like sweet stuff and I like hazy ones. Arpus have cracked the formula to make sweet, fruity NEIPAS, and good job with that. Bit too sugary... I have gone full circle.. first asked beers to be sweeter but now complaining they are pure sugar... I think I am starting to understand NEIPA haters...

Sweet

12/IX/21 - on tap @ BBP Wanderlust Festival (Brussels), BB: n/a (2021-1065) Thanks to all for sharing today’s beers!

Cloudy deep orange beer, big creamy off-white head, stable, adhesive, leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: nice stuff, very dank, citrus notes, fruity, mango, cheesy touch, very good! MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: a bit sweet in the start, lots of dank hops, gentle bitterness, fruity, floral, little soapy, funky. Aftertaste: more bitterness, rather dry touch, citrus touch, some floral notes, soapy bitterness in the finish.

Arpus is technically a top brewery... No defects whatsoever. Just perfect balance. Next level nerd brewing who delivers super tasty beers. Great!
