Twine Climber is our flagship IPA for a time when flagships are a dying breed. A modern interpretation of a West Coast IPA, this beer is packed with the hop trinity: Citra, Mosaic & Simcoe. Dry, dank & lightly juicy with a bite of citrus. Malt notes are light to let the hops shine.

Minimally perfumed, piney and citrusy fruity, hoppy aroma, relatively neutral, pale malty background, hints of pineapple, lemon, a perfumed touch of lemon peel, slight jelly bear character. Taste is mildly bitter, citrusy fruity and piney hoppy, sweet-ish, biscuity, pale malty basis, notes of lemon, some mandarine, orange, pineapple, hints of orange biscuit; minimally perfumed hints of lemon peel in the finish.
Oily-watery texture, smooth and soft, minimally greasy palate, medium, mildly prickly carbonation.

Poured from 473mL can (this year's can lists 6.7% abv). Clear blonde gold with small white head. Skunky dank aroma. Biscuit malt with mild pine hops and a slight dankness. Decent.

On tap at Varietal, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma reveals plenty of dank hoppiness, a touch of juiciness, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour has some dank, piney hops upfront, backed with a crisp biscuity malt base. Dank, piney finish. Nicely made.

Pint can bottle at Belgian Beergeeks/Brewver summer tasting at Tim's house. Thanks Bjorn.
BB 09/2022.
Dorée, col blanc tenace.
Arôme est frais naviguant sur des notes 'dank' d'une bonne IPA classique américaine - agrumes, fruité finement herbacé.
Palais est léger mettant en avant un caractère IPA classique - petite touche de fruité abricot, agrumes avec un délicieux caractère résineux et huileux. Semble finir sur une petite rondeur d'avoine.
