(On tap @ the brewpub, Quebec City, Feb 6/20) Pours completely opaque milky pale yellowish with a white head. Notes of orange, mango, peach, some floral tropical fruit, light leafy and resinous underpinning, body is rather dry and slightly chalky with a bone dry finish, lingering orange and pineapple, light to moderate bitterness. Medium bodied with smooth carbonation. A well-made, drier IPA though I find the chalky or powdery quality of most Noctem IPAs a little distracting at times.
