Directions, notre Double IPA brassée uniquement avec du Nelson Sauvin. Nous avons encore une fois testé quelques nouvelles techniques lors du brassage de Directions et un lot particulièrement intéressant de Nelson Sauvin de Freestyle Hops. Le nez est dominé par les arômes bien particuliers du houblon Nelson Sauvin avec des notes de raisins blancs, de kiwis, de fruits tropicaux et de fruit de la passion.

Murky pale blond colour. Strong tropical fruit aroma, but not the typical Nelson Sauvin, this is sweeter, more melon. Very mild sweetness, a bit starchy, delicate bread base; juicy hops, pineapple, peach, a touch of tropical fruits. Very good.

Hazy golden-amber colour with a warm-white, frothy-creamy head, with good retention and loads of dirty-foamy lacing. The Nelson Sauvin hops are grassy in the nose, but does give that fruitier grape aroma. The taste shows this fruit touch, but the herbal-grassiness is present and even a black pepper zing. The citrus notes do come out with time, giving an orangy feel. The mouthfeel grows on the dryness, but not overly - so quite a refreshing Double IPA that highlights the Nelson Sauvin.

Can: Poured a hazy/cloudy yellow color ale with a large size foamy head with good retention and good amount of lacing. Aroma of citrusy hops notes with some tropical and mango notes and juicy undertones. Taste is also a mix of citrusy hops notes with some tropical and mango juicy hops undertones with some light residual sugar notes but a rather dry finish. Body is full for style with good carbonation. Solid double NEIPA with great juicy hoppy notes and great showcase of Nelson Sauvin hops.
