Flavor is medium sweet, malty, roasty, cardboard, meh, double meh. Huge carbonation on light body. Wonderful combination. I don’t know if this has been sitting on shelves for years, but no bueno.

Bottle from KrausenJockey, drunk 5/1/2008.
From beermail sent to KrausenJockey, "just opened my first Decadence grand cru. Despite your suggestions, I cellared it at about 50 degrees for the last 6 months or so and just opened it and poured it in a champagne/lambic flute. Absolutely stunning and perfectly carbonated! The sweet/dry balance is perfect as well. No flaws whatsoever and the malt just shines through. I’m not rating right now, but I’d probably give it a 9 aroma, 5 appearance, 9 flavor, 4 palate and 18 overall.
Hope you’re doin well, tell aspidites that I haven’t forgot I owe him beer."

Slightly cloudy copper coloured body with a small tan head atop. Aroma of grapefruit, citrus and fresh hops. Medium-bodied; Nice relatively mild flavour with fresh hops and lighter malt noticeable. Good bitter finish with a nice hoppy taste, but not too strong at all. Overall, a decent IPA, not too strong, but good to try! I sampled this pint on draught at Toronado in San Francisco, California on 28-June-2010.
