Bottle from lowcostbeer, consumed 2 months past BBE. Pours a cloudy amber with small but tight off-white head with lacing. Aroma is malty yet fragrant with notes of caramel, passionfruit, flowers, grapefruit. Taste follows aroma with a biscuit and caramel maltiness mixed with fruity and aromatic hops, passionfruit, grapefruit, citrus pith and some zest. Simple enough but enjoyable.

Can. A golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of spices, citrus fruits, hops, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of citrus fruits, hops, caramel, hops, and malt, leading to a bitter finish.

Can. Nose is honey, malt, cereal. No hops. Taste is malt, cereal, honey, no hops of any description, but a slight pine note on the finish. Not remotely an IPA or perhaps a bad can

Can from Great Grog. Clear deep golden body with tiny flecks beneath an off-white head. Steady carbonation. Patchy lacing. Aroma of tinned orange and fresh apricot. Flavour of orange jelly and grassy hops. I’ve only had a few beers hopped with nectaron and they’ve all been excellent. I’d love to see nectaron used more often.

J'étais plutôt impatient de découvrir cette IPA brassée à partir de Nectaron, houblon que je ne connaissais pas. Il parait que celui-ci donne des arômes de fruits tropicaux (ananas, fruits de la passion), de pêche et de pamplemousse. Etrangement ce n'est pas du tout ce que j'ai eu comme arôme, où c'est finalement une alliance quelque peu spéciale de miel, melon, tomate/basilic et d'agrumes que j'ai découvert. L'amertume aurait de plus pu être plus poussée, et on est ici à la limite ente une Pale Ale et une IPA. Il doit d'ailleurs avoir des Pale Ale plus amère. Sur le visuel, nous sommes sur un blond doré limpide sans mousse. Le nez nous présente donc un cocktail particulier de miel, melon, tomates/basilic et agrumes. Sur l’attaque des épices arrivent sur une base douce et une amertume pas assez marquée. Celle-ci monte modérément en seconde bouche. La complexité est plutôt bonne, mais les arômes ne s’allient pas convenablement. L’alcool, à 6,1 % est passable. Corpulence et longueurs sont moyennes. Les agrumes y sont un peu plus présents. Pas convainquant.

Rocky white head left a froth on an amber body. Malt & cardboard aroma. Medium bodied, smooth with a sharp back. Malt, citrus, pithy, grapefruit & hopped up tastes. Nice
