Part of their IPA Mixed Six case, lightly unfiltered with tiny, transparent particles floating around. The rest is clean, light golden, with a big frothy white cap, good retention and foamy-creamy lacing. Aromas of grassy hops, hop oils and mild malts. The mouthfeel is wet with a nice building, slow and light dryness. Milder grassy hops in the flavours, balanced by melon notes and hints of tropical fruits. Not a Double NEIPA, but a decent Double IPA with a blend of both coast.

Nose is showing strong raw and faded hops. Some tropical notes and a little grapefruit are showing a bit. Yellowish and fuzzy liquid with a tiny foam that holds up. Hop resin takes up a good part of the taste palette and again seem faded. Very few fruity flavours and a sharp bitterness as finish let pass notes of conifers that drag for a long time. These intense resin notes flirt dangerously with astringency. The body is moderately light, alcohol is very well integrated the effervescence is moderately pungent. There is probably a freshness problem here since it was canned almost three months ago. Olfactif montrant un fort houblonnage à cru et des houblons défraichis. Passent à travers ça quelques notes tropicales et un peu de pamplemousse. Liquide jaunâtre et flou avec une toute petite mousse qui se maintient tant bien que mal. Les saveurs de résine de houblon accaparent une bonne partie de la palette gustative et encore une fois semblent défraichis. Très peu de saveurs fruitées et une amertume tranchante en fin de bouche qui laissent passer des notes de conifères qui trainent longtemps en finale. Ces intenses notes de résine flirtent dangereusement avec l’astringence. Le corps est moyennement léger, l’alcool très peu senti et l’effervescence moyennement piquante. Il y a probablement ici un problème de fraicheur puisqu’elle fut encannée il y a presque trois mois.
