C'est une Juicy IPA généreusement houblonnée avec de l'Idaho 7, du Simcoe et du Cryo Pop qui lui confèrent des arômes d'agrumes, de fruits tropicaux, de fruits à noyaux et de baies.
Côté malts, on est sur une base de pils, de froment, de vienna et des flocons d'avoine qui lui donnent du corps et de la douceur.
Le résultat est une caresse fruitée évoquant un voyage chamanique au cœur de la nature sauvage.

Brussels IPA hopped with überclassic Simcoe, meanwhile also classic Idaho 7 and less classic Cryo Pop, in itself not a hop variety but a blend developed by Yakima Chief Hops, still the leading hop producer in the 'maternity home' of New World hops. Can from a Delhaize supermarket, canned in October last year so now five months old. Thick, frothy, egg-white, 'Brugse kant'-like lacing, firm and stable head sitting on a misty yellow-golden blonde robe with brass glow. Aroma of honey pomelo, dried mango, lime zest, some lychee, old polyester rug somehow, dry straw, perhaps even literal - but already a bit spoiled - 'witloof', old dry cereals. Rounded, sweetish onset, a bit spritzy, refreshing with notes of carambola and guava, touch of citrusiness (in a sweet way - honey pomelo again) too, supple pale malty core, a tad cereally in a slender way, strongly aromatised by the hops of course but not as deeply 'soaked' in them as I am used to from NEIPAs. The hops do provide citrusy zestiness, a weak retronasal oniony touch (Simcoe) and a very mild, somewhat 'sticky' end bitterishness which dries but does not 'spice', but I was expecting more tropical fruitiness from the Cryo Pop 'bomb', more oniony pungency from the Simcoe and even more zestiness from the Idaho 7. Very basic, even a bit underachieving for a NEIPA, but if you get the whole 'hazy IPA' idea out of your head (in spite of something similar explicitly being on the label), then this is not a bad beer by any means; it just does not do enough effort in aromatic juicy hoppiness to distinguish itself in a global ocean of hazy IPAs. On a local level, this performs fine, however - and frankly I think it is a very satisfying IPA when fresh from tap. This warrants a visit to this brewery I think - one I am not overly familiar with, in spite of knowing of its existence for several years. Benefit of the doubt for me.

Small, fine white covering over hazy pale yellow beer. Citrus, exotic fruit, but also chalk and smelling a tad dusty. Again chalk, citrus and other faint fruity flavours. Rather sweetish, and not exactly a tastebomb. Light body, good carbonation, not much news in the aftertaste. Not very remarkable, too easy, too fade. Txs to Stef!

Draft @ CoHop. Première d'une série expérimentale brassée à CoHop et dispo à la brasserie. Ici, il semble que tout s'aligne sur des IPA, Pale Ale.
Couleur dorée, col blanc léger crémeux.
Arôme est léger sur les houblons, fruité délicat, note fleurie rappelant le jasmin - pointe de myrtille. Retrait sur les malts avec un pils et céréales en rétro-nasal.
Palais est finement 'juicy' avec un retrait de fruits à noyaux et une petite pointe rappelant le yaourt - pas spécialement un bon signe dans une bière, reste cependant pas trop dérangeant. Touche farineux en fin de bouche, fruits blancs, douceur coco, finement herbacé et agrumes. Fine rondeur des malts avec un Vienna délicat qui donne un léger effet grillé.
