A full-bodied Double IPA that glows a magnificent hazy orange. Heavily dry-hopped with Jarrylo, Azacca, and Mosaic resulting in big notes of pineapple, mango, honeydew, and candy sweetness. Dangerously drinkable and surprisingly mellow - Consolation Prize is always a winner.

Drank from the can, purchased at BXL. Smell is full, malty, tropical fruity hops, milder notes of pine. Taste is full, hoppy, juicy, yet not NE style. More like those 'old school' ( 5 years ago, lol) dipa's from the US. Very nice DIPA, in a style that has been pushed to the background by NE, but didn't loose any of its greatness.

Can, from Malt & Mold. Pours cloudy orange with large foamy off-white head, faint citrus aroma, low carbonation, medium bitter orange peel taste, smooth, somewhat thick body, long medium bitter finish. Well balanced, a good one.

My second beer from this brewery, having been pleasantly surprised by the first one. Nice resiny hop nose, hints at orange peel and bready yeast. Some serious juiciness going on, mainly a mild grapefruit juice presence, thick body bordering on syrupy but not entirely crossing that line. Fairly strong bitterness. Alcohol presence is definitely there, but doesn't detract much. I'm enjoying the beer, and it's a great double IPA, but I'm also reminded why this is a style that should fade away - it's really just too much and I can't help but think how much more I'd enjoy this if it was dropped to 6.5% and featured a drier finish. Hazy golden.

16 ounce can. Hazy medium gold color. Frothy white head. Clinging lace. Subtle hop nose hints at grapefruit and pine. Bittersweet bready malt and citrus hop notes. Dank hops redolent of old citrus. Biitter lemon and mint notes. Bold and brash, with grassy hop undertones. Quite tasty.

Pint can du shop au BxlBeerFest. Canned on 08/02/2017. Dorée, trouble, col blanc. Arôme offre de belles effluves fruitées sur les agrumes, petite note de pêche et mandarine avec une effluve d'ail qui revient plus sur le rétro. Palais met bien en avant l'effet des 9.5% mais de suite accompagné par un bon profil houblonné. Petite note épaisse, huileuse fruits à noyaux et rappel de groseille à maquereau accompagné d'un côté de pamplemousse. Pointe de poudreux rappelant le lupuloid. Fini un peu poivré.
