Double IPA aux houblons Galaxy, Motueka, Citra, Citra Cryo, Citra Lupomax et Citra Incognito.
Nous n'avons qu'une seule bière à annoncer cette semaine et non la moindre. Nous aurons toutefois plusieurs annonces d'ici la fin de semaine. Aquavitae est une Double qui met en vedette une combinaison que nous aimons particulièrement avec en prime une quantité gigantesque de Citra. Vous pourrez y goûter une variété de fruits exotiques, une touche "dank" et une pointe d'agrumes sur une texture bien crémeuse et riche.

Murky pale yellow colour. Juicy aroma, yellow stone fruit, sweet citrus. Mild residual sweetness, a bit of starch, but the hopping is good, juicy (mix of citrus and tropical); the bitterness is mild, the alcohol is warming. Very good.

Cloudy golden-yellow colour with a creamy white cap, good retention and full creamy lacing. Citrus nose with lemon, orange zest, some tangerine sweetness and pink grapefruit juices. The taste is milder, and not as fruity-sweet as expected from the aromas. More of the lemon-orange zest and a touch of their juices. Quite smooth overall, with a creamyish mouthfeel. Some good dryness in the finish, building. An easy-drinking Double IPA with all citrus action.

Can: Poured a hazy/cloudy yellow color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of juicy citrus hops notes with some hoppy floral undertones and light tropical notes. Taste is also a mix of juicy citrusy hops notes with some hoppy floral undertones and light residual sugar notes with some tropical notes. Body is full with good carbonation. Enjoyable double NEIPA with nice juicy hops factor.

(473ml can from L'Axe du Malt, Quebec City) Pours near opaque dark gold with a thick eggshell head that is very stable and leaves heavy lace. Aroma is 'red' floral tropical fruit Galaxy to the fore, rambutan and mangosteen, guava, melon, grapefruit, dank lime, Flavour is delightfully Galaxy-forward, lots of 'red' floral tropical fruit, pink grapefruit, sugared lime, melon, some tangerine, soft bready malt without much sweetness, very plush, finish is quite dry, lime and grapefruit peels, red tropical fruit, soft leafy dankness, floral melons, very low bitterness, light astringency in the aftertaste. Full body, super-creamy soft carbonation, one of the best mouthfeels from BdBC hops in a while.

2022-12-22. 16oz (thx, Max C. for proxying!) @ Ryan's. Appearance: murky blonde with a white head. Aroma: dank, lots of tropical fruits, maybe a bit dry. Taste: super dank, pretty juicy, but another one with a relatively light body for 8.5% beer. Overall: good, but I would like more body. 8-5-8-3-15=39. 2024-06-08. 16oz shared with Alex at McGill park. Very juicy, lots of tropical fruits, some nice sweetness. Not light this time very good. 8-5-8-4-16=41.

Poured from 473mL can. Opaque murky yellow with white head. Melon, tropical, and citrus hops, dank. Decently balanced, but not a standout.
