Tropical aromatic based on pineapple, grapefruit, pepper, lychee and mango. Malted base giving off some caramelized sugars. Yellow liquid with an orange tendency, quite blurry, covered with a good creamy and persistent foam. On the palate it is fruity but thin. Tropical fruits are on the program with pineapple, lychee and grapefruit; but it is above all a bitterness of citrus peel that annoys the palate. The malted base brings a slight sweetness. New-England style hopping with a strong fruitiness. Slim and tough body in the final. Passing note. Aromatique tropical à base d’ananas, de pamplemousse de litchi de poivre et de mangue. Base maltée donnant quelques sucres caramélisés. Liquide jaune à tendance orange, assez floue, recouvrant d’une bonne mousse crémeuse et persistante. En bouche, c’est fruité mais mince. Les fruits tropicaux sont au programme avec ananas, litchi et pamplemousse; mais c’est avant tout une amertume de zeste d’agrumes qui agace le palais. La base maltée apporte un léger sucré. Houblonnage de type Nouvelle-Angleterre avec un fruité fort. Amertume âpre de zestes d’agrumes. Corps mince et robuste en finale. Note de passage. O:8.725 V:3.0 G:6.6 C:2.65 O:10.5 T:31.475

Enjoyed at Level One. Pours a hazy golden colour with an off-white head, good retention and light creamy lace. Citrus aromas from the hops, with the caramel malt base blending things. Same for taste with caramel and fresh grassy hops. An easy-drinking APA for those who like the caramel base, but with decent citrus notes.

Can: Poured a hazy yellow color ale with a nice large white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrusy hops notes with light residual sugar and some floral undertones is pleasant. Taste is a good mix of citrusy hops notes with some residual sugar notes, some flora undertones with light dry hoppy notes with some slightly off grainy notes also perceptible. Body is full for style with good carbonation. Enjoyable APA but malt base could be a little bit more refined.

A lightly hazed golden ale with a thin lacing white head. In aroma, fruity malt with light tropical fruits, light mineral notes, pleasant. In mouth, a sweet fruity malt with light butterscotch, corn husk, a tad unpleasant. On tap at brewery.
