This Double IPA is brewed with bags of flaked oats to provide a soft silky mouthfeel. A high final gravity gives it a roundness to balance the piney/earthy hotside hop additions. A double dry hop gives it a tropical jungle vibe!

French NEDIPA by a brewery I had never heard of before, thanks Craftmember for sharing. Snow white, moussy, medium thick, opening head on a hazy yellow blonde beer with somewhat yellow-greenish tinge. Aroma of sugared lemon juice, passionfruit, minced lemongrass, halfripe mango, oatmeal porridge, yellow kiwi, marijuana, chalk, meringue. Juicy onset, halfripe mango and pepino but primarily passionfruit-like in a more sweet than sour way, lively carb but not too sharp for style (though almost so), smooth body with soft oatmeal porridge edge, doughy malt core drenched in tropical and ‘sultry’ New World hoppiness ranging between mango, passionfruit, yellow kiwi and lemongrass, with a late grassy, bit peppery bitter ‘bite’ which fades out quickly. No hopburn, though, and the alcohol remains perfectly hidden – two technical aspects I tend to associate with a well-brewed NEDIPA and worthy of an extra point compared with many others. Nothing outstanding happening here, just a proof that France has (almost) completely caught up with global craft beer trends with this well-executed, tasty hazy IPA. Better than expected, to be frank.

Straight from can during a hike. Color: Hazy golden, white head I presume. Aroma: Hoppy, orange, some tropical fruit. Taste: Hoppy, dry over moderate to medium bitterness. Moderate to over moderate sweet. Orange, tangerine, some orange peel, grapefruit and a little pineapple. Quite dense mouthfeel. Over medium body, just under average carbonation. Ok.
