On tap at À La Dèrive. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Some pine and resin on the nose. Flavour has pine, chewy malts, some resin. Pretty muddled. It's okay.

Fairly clean, bight yellow colour with a frothy-bubbly white cap, average head and some foamy lacing streaks. Mostly lemon zest aromas with the sharp notes, over a straw malt base and hints of herbal spices. The taste shows the lemon zest, peel as well with its bitterness and nice dryness in the end. This lingers. A nice IPA that says West Coast-style, but other than not being juicy, and more hoppy - it is more on the citrus side of North East, than the grassiness. Kind of a citrusy hopbomb.

On-tap: Poured a clear yellow/orangey color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrusy hops notes with light bitter undertones and some grapefruit notes. Taste is also a mix of citrusy hops notes with some bitterness and a dry finish. Body is about average with good carbonation. Enjoyable classic West Coast IPA.

On tap at � la D�rive, pours a murky yellow with a small white head — this is a west coast style? Aroma does smell more like a west coast, with bitter piney hops, touch of dankness, and biscuity malt. Flavour is fairly bitter, with assertive piney hops, some powdery character that is reminiscent of lupulin powder, and earthy bready malt. The clarity isn't great, but there's definitely a more west coast hop expression. Decent.

Arômes de pamplemousse, de zestes d’agrumes et d’intense résine de conifères. Subtile base maltée aux notes de biscuit. Mousse crémeuse et persistante sur liquide jaune et voilé. Le pamplemousse avec son zeste reste très présent à l’entrée de bouche. Un soupçon tropical rehausse la palette. L’amertume se compose d’un mélange de zeste d’agrumes et de résine de conifère, trainant longtemps en finale et frisant l’astringence. La base maltée demeure en soutient et discrète, relevant des notes de miel et de caramel. Son fruité de houblons demeure plus près d’une NEIPA que d’une West Coast. La corpulence est moyenne, l’effervescence piquante et l’alcool bien intégré. À mi-chemin entre une vrai West Coast et une NEIPA. Assurément bonne au goût. O:7.1 V:3.4 G:8.25 C:3.35 O:15.875 T:37.975
