A bold and loud West Coast-Style IPA, Head Stock rocks a catchy melody of pine and grapefruit notes that perfectly harmonize with undertones of refreshing hop bitterness.

Well-present orange scents combined with notes of pineapple and grapefruit make up an interesting but low-intensity olfactory. A thick, creamy white foam covers the rather fuzzy orange golden liquid. A tropical touch with citrus accents declines quickly in intense bitterness of resin and conifer giving us a rather well balanced taste. Notes of orange, grapefruit and lemon gives us a well-diversified citrus palette. The malt is very discreet and lets us glimpse small accents of caramel. The body and effervescence are average, the balance is well focused on hops with a slight astringency. Pleasant and average good IPA. Des effluves d’orange bien présentes combinées avec des notes d’ananas et de pamplemousse composent un olfactif intéressant mais de faible intensité. Une mousse blanche bien épaisse et crémeuse recouvre le liquide doré orangé plutôt flou. Une touche tropicale aux accents d’agrumes effleure l’entrée de bouche se déclinant rapidement en intense amertume de résine et de conifère. Des notes d’orange, de pamplemousse et de citron nous donne une palette d’agrumes bien diversifiée. Le malt est bien discret et nous laisse entrevoit de petits accents de caramel. Le corps et l’effervescence sont moyens, l’équilibre bien axée sur le houblon et on y dénote une toute légère astringence. Agréable et dans la moyenne des bonnes IPA.

Blik gekregen van Keukeman, thuis geprobeerd. Het is een troebel geel bier met een volle witte schuimkraag. Het heeft een hoppige wat harsige geur. De smaak is harsig, hoppig en bitter.

Left in my fridge by my brother in law after Christmas dinner. So it's mine. The hops is primarily resinious, with some bitterness, over a fairly neutral hay malt base with a slight bit of sweetness. It's fine, and that's about it.

Drank at the brewery, very bitter. A bit harsh for me, dry but puckering bitter. But also dank and earthy, I don’t like the hop mix.
