(Bottle sample c/o a friend) Pours a lightly hazed pale golden orange with a small frothy white head, no lace. Punchy hop aroma, mango to the forefront with its trademark sweet fruit/pine combo, quite resinous, a little citrus as well, some sweet pale malt backing. Palate echoes the nose, lots of bright tropical fruit/citrus/pine hops, somewhere between leafy and resinous, with a sweet pale malt core. Fairly bitter towards the finish, strips out that sweetness and the aftertaste is quite dry and hoppy. Mouthfeel moderate, carb effervescent. Not a ton of complexity to the malts, mostly one-note sweet, but very nice hopping. Quite an enjoyable, drinkable IPA.

Bottle: Poured an amber color ale with a nice large foamy had with good retention and some lacing. Aroma consists of bitter and citrus hoppy notes with light grainy malty notes. Taste is a great mix between some dry caramel malt notes with grainy cereal notes also noticeable with some strong citrus and bitter hoppy notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Solid rendition of the style by a brewer that keeps showing great skills.

341mL bottle, sent from Marheb (thanks Martin), pours a cloudy pale orange with a small white head. Nose is fairly subtle, with dry floral hops, some pine, and a little citrus zest. Flavour is pretty bitter and dry, with citrus zest, citrus hops, a little pine and floral notes - very biting, with a solid astringent punch on the finish. Just enough malt to balance, yet this is style very hop-centric. Built for the hophead like me. Very enjoyable IPA.

341mL bottle, sent from Marheb (thanks Martin), pours a totally clear pale golden yellow with a small white head. Nose is very subtle, bringing out light floral notes and some grassy biscuity malts. Flavour is extremely bright and refreshing, bringing out floral hops, grassy and biscuity malt. Very dry, florally, and without astringency. A simple, yet highly drinkable pale here. Great stuff.

Bottle: Poured a light golden orangey color ale with a rather large foamy head with good retention and some good lacing. Aroma of citrus notes is quite intense with a little bit of piney notes and some tropical fruity notes in there as well. Taste is a great mix between some citrus, tropical fruit and some piney notes with a lightly sweet malt backbone and almost no bitterness. Body is quite full for style with good carbonation. Very enjoyable and something I will drink again.

Le nez est d’abord agrumes, pamplemousse, avec notes herbacées et de conifères tels pin et sapin. Arômes standards d’une IPA. Bonne puissance. De couleur blonde / dorée, limpide, mousse épaisse, dense, écumeuse, qui persiste de longues minutes et qui laisse une dentelle bien collée. L’entrée en bouche laisse deviner une bière bien balancée. Les sucres de caramel s’installent en toile de fond, surmontés de houblons résineux aux notes de conifère, de poivre, de gazon et d’agrumes. Superbe complexité des houblons et surtout sans agressivité. En bouche, elle est bien tenue, avec beaucoup de corps et un bon équilibre malt / houblon. Pour un deuxième cru, c’est encore une fois une réussite. Une excellente IPA, complexe, bien balancée, aux houblons puissants mais sans agressivité.
