Bière bue en canette à la maison. Robe jaune trouble, bien hazy, coiffée d’une mousse blanche correcte. Nez très expressif, sur une explosion de fruits exotiques bien mûrs. Attaque fraîche et équilibrée, avec une belle intensité aromatique portée sur l’exotique, sans lourdeur. L’ensemble reste net, avec une amertume modérée en fin de bouche. Une bonne DIPA, efficace et plaisante.

Quite good in general. Nice meaty stout base with rather fetching peaty barrel vibes. Some rubber, earth, cocoa, smoke, maybe dark fruit. Really enjoyable and drinkable.

Bottle. Color: Clear golden, very thin and fast disappearing white head. Aroma: Fruity lemon, peppery hints. Taste: Starting fruity lemon, going to peppery Cayenne with a refreshing lemon twist. Salty hints. Warming mouthfeel at the finish. Just below medium body, low carbonation.

Draught Small, fine white surface over clear golden beer. Very outspoken more of grapes, and even more so, grapejuice. Faint lactic acid. Dry grapejuice, if that makes any sense. Mild acidity, fruitsugars only suggested underneath. A delicate, citrus-like or Traubenzucker flavour. Feels much better carbonated than it looks. Light body, fruitslick. Nice, delicate beer from a brewery, hitherho remaining under the radar. And marc - barrel aged, at that - how delightfully French!
