Our collab with La Debauche and showcases SubZero Hop Kief, early and late harvest Rakau hop oils for a bold contrast—creating a layered hop experience. The early harvest brings fresh pine and grass notes, while the late harvest adds a rich, juicy depth with overripe plum, peach, and stone fruit. Packed with Citra and Nelson Sauvin hops and a touch of wheat for a crisp bite, this IPA is a perfect balance of resinous and fruity.

(Can, 0.44l, from Alko, 20260306) The beer poured golden and almost opaque. Its head was huge, white and it lasted long. Aroma had citrus fruits, tropical fruits and marmalade. Palate was medium bodied with rather low carbonation. Flavours were citrus fruits, grapefruit, citrus fruits, coconut flakes, mango and light bitterness. Aftertaste had tropical fruits and light bitterness. This can was close to its BBE date. Kept its style quite well.

Moersleutel collaborating with one of the more familiar French craft beer names in this NEIPA, thanks Meeki for sharing! Snow white, membrane-lacing, thinnish but stable head, hazy pale yellow blonde robe. Aroma of granadilla, guava, honey pomelo, dough, yellow kiwi, pink peppercorns, lemongrass, dank sweatiness. Sweet, juicy onset, honeydew, guava and yellow kiwi, touch papaya perhaps, medium carb with slick yet creamy mouthfeel; doughy, almost meringue-ish malt core drenched in tropical, hugely aromatic hoppiness, bringing back all that honey pomelo, honeydew, guava and granadilla but also a minor bittering note - not overpowering the sultry tropical sweetness, but enough to bring a bit of balance and hugely important in this kind of beers at least to me. Perfectly finetuned: I still associate Moersleutel primarily with what they did first, namely big stouts and porters, but apparently they have become very skilled at IPAs as well (whilst not underestimating La Débauche's contribution to this particular one).

Hazy yellow colour, medium-sized white head. Pineapple and straw in the nose. Medium-bodied. Juicy, pineapple, citrus, peach and straw in the flavour. Good modern standard NEIPA. With 6% even a bit on light side.
