French experimental hops grown in the Alsace region. Hop character is fresh and lively. You get an intense double IPA that tastes like no other since it also features a Belgian yeast strain.

On tap at crux. Pours out a golden topped with a small white head. Nose is candy sugar grass white grapes and spice. Taste is as the nose with a nice sweetness some bitterness on the end. A fun one to try.

Draught at The Beer Junction, Seattle
Cloudy pale blond color with small head. The aroma is too mild. Good body strength;/the malt flavor reminds me a bit the malt liquors, this additionally has some resiny and fruity hop.
I didn’t like this much.

On tap at Saraveza for the 5th IIPA fest, pours a cloudy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out some farmhouse yeast upfront above anything, with maybe some subtle piney hops in there. Flavour is definitely like a Belgian IIPA, with farmhouse yeast upfront followed by piney hops. Very well-balanced and expertly crafted. A great hybrid beer.

Hazed light golden with a thin off white head. Nose is lemon, floral hops, orange. Taste comprises orange squash, citrus, bready malts, light hops, pine. Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, light hop bitterness in the finish. Strange one this - it was drinkable, I enjoyed it - but it didn’t really deliver the punch of a DIPA!
