Description
Popihn was founded in 2017 by Arnaud Popihn in the French Vaumort region. Supported by head brewer Gunther Oltra, Popihn quickly became the most hyped brewery in France.
Arnaud renovated an old barn and installed brewing tanks: the brand and the workshop were born! He immediately associated with a friend they met in Paris and they decide to embark on the adventure together by making artisanal French beers in the Sens region, in the countryside and with the barley grown by his parents.
It is in this natural break that we find the Popihn brewery workshop, with the very latest brewing equipment. They readily admit to being influenced and inspired by the breweries of the United States and England.
Very aromatic although a little bitter IPAs which give pride of place to exotic fruits (lemon, guava, mango, grapefruit!) And sour drinks that are not very developed in France! This is their hallmark: originality and innovation, but each time with the highest quality! Their daring paid off: they are now key players in these “niche” markets!

Je dois avouer que même si cette Pale Ale de Popihn est honorable, j'ai été quelque peu déçu car je sais que la brasserie peut bien mieux faire. Au programme donc, Citra, Mosaic et Summit avec de l'orge, 4,8 % et 35 d'IBU. Le visuel est sur un blond paille limpide avec une fine effervescence soutenue et une mousse blanche crémeuse et généreuse. Le nez est appréciable sur une alliance litchee, mangue, orange, ananas, pamplemousse et herbes. Sur l'attaque, la vivacité provient d'une légère acidité. Mais heureusement qu'elle est là car sinon cette pale manque réellement d'impact. L'amertume est loin d'être saillante et l'alcool, à 4,8 % pas très efficace. Les arômes s'expriment tout de même davantage en deuxième bouche et ceux-ci rendent tout de même la bière appréciable. On retrouve notre légère acidité en arrière-bouche comme sur l'attaque mais le final est tout comme la corpulence, court. Bof.

Intensely sour and heavy with cherries, raspberries, redcurrant, earthiness and hints of acidic vibes. Quite heavy

pours very dark brown, settles nearly black, with a light brown small head that leaves a film behind.
Aroma is heavy on roasted malts, then quite some wood and also some vanilla. aroma is like a very old wooden house out in the sun for the entire summer, soaked in imp. stout. well blended and rounded. vanilla clearly noticeable. but not as a sharp artificial thing that was added.
flavor is roasted malts, a lot of flavors from wood, the good stuff, salt, charred wood, some funky complexity from overexposure to wood, vanilla practically drowned in the heavy flavors of wood and roasted malts. This flavor is VERY barrel aged in the flavor. they took it off just before it went nuts. very complex, lots to explore.

As Imperial Stout Barrel Aged Blend Poivre De Kampot 12%
Dark brown but not black. light brown smooth head.
malty and roasted malty aroma, dark toffee, gunpowder and perhaps faint smoked malts and charred wood. quite rounded and balanced given the charred and smoked fainter notes. good blend. reminds me of limfjordsporter, but a more soft version.
Flavor is an excellent mix of roasted malts, smoked malt, charred wood, salty notes. The wood brings a lot of flamed barrel notes but not many weird off flavors - the roasted malts are heavy enough to balance. The smokiness never goes overboard but remains balanced. the alc. is well hidden and not at all in the way. very good for its kind.
