mostly flowery hoppy aroma, belgian yeasty base to that aroma, quite typical belgian ipa - I wonder why they often has this characteristic aroma. Flavor is quite bitter , not so much US hoppy bitter, more just bitter but with some body to the bitterness so def. hoppy bitter, not herbal bitter or brewing-error bitter. comes off as a bit messy, it's almost like a tripel just with a very different hopping. pretty weird. Tastes okay though.

Bottled. Hazy orangeish golden colour with a small white foamy longlasting head. Aroma is ripe fruits, some yeasty spiciness, mild tropical fruits and some herbal tones. Flavour is dried fruits, some tropical fruits, mild spiciness, some alcohol sweetness with mild herbs and grass too. Fermented rather dry. Interesting, and actually rather nice.

Dark blond colour with light haze and thin head. Aroma and flavour have a strong amount of floral hop notes. Elements of zesty citrus come through too. Nice body. It is reminiscent of classic American IPA. The alcohol is well hidden.

Bottle, 0.33l. Aroma of caramel, flowers, yeast, wheat and dried fruit. Pours cloudy bronze color with thick creamy off-white head and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts sweet caramelly, resinous and tart ripe fruity, follows by toasted malt, herbs and dried fruit, mouthfeel is warm and mild spicy, while finish is heavy bitter. Full body, oily texture and lively carbonation in palate. Sweet, but luckily without palm oil...

Hoppy Strong Ale de la brasserie Tartaruga présentant un titrage de 8 %, un brassage avec centenial et columbus avec houblonnage à cru et 77 d'IBU, cette bière qui possède de nombreuses qualités surprend par une décomposition en 2 temps, avec un premier temps relativement doux et fruité, pas très intense et sur un bon équilibre malt/houblon et un deuxième temps beaucoup plus rock'n roll, sur une amertume racée et enlevée. Et ces deux temps se font sans réelles transition, ce qui la rend un peu abrupte, et ce d'autant plus que la première phase, plus douce, n'est pas assez intense. Dommage car les aromes sont appréciables et les équilibres des 2 phases, prises isolément sont bonnes. En verre nous sommes sur un blond très légèrement voilé avec une mousse quasi inexistante (EBC de 6). Le nez est sur l'écorce d'orange, la pomme, la poire, le melon et de fines épices. A l'attaque, sur une texture fine, un bon équilibre malt/houblon se dévoile. Si l'intensité reste modéré, nous trouvons des arômes de poivre, orange, melon, pomme, poire, pêche et miel. La deuxième bouche est dans la continuité, légèrement amère. C'est alors que le houblonnage à cru prend les devants, sur une amertume racée, faisant alors bien ses 77 d'IBU et des arômes d'écorces d'orange, de pamplemousse, d'herbes et de résineux. Si la prise en bouche et insuffisante en début de dégustation, le final présente à la fois une très bonne longueur et une excellente prise en bouche. Cette Sweet Alma manque simplement d'une meilleure homogénéité.

Grassy and fruity hoppy as well as caramel malty aroma, notes of gooseberry, rhubarb, kiwi fruit, herbal hoppy overtones with a touch of mint and woodruff. Taste is sweet-ish, caramel malty and dry, fruity and slightly grassy hoppy, notes of kiwi fruit, gooseberry, some rhubarb, a herbal touch of mint and woodruff. Highly drinkable - nice.
