Draught @ Thiriez Hop Fest 2025. Pours a hazed yellow, white head. Aroma is on point, vibrant exotic action. Flavour profile follows suit with a balanced, fresh exotic character, mild bitter close. Good DIPA.

From bottle @ Thiriez Hop Fest 2025. Pours a misty pale golden yellow, small white head. Fresh sour air on the nose, light grape glimpse. Flavour profile delivers moderate fruity grape elements accompanying a crisp delicate wild character nicely, crisp bitter close. Nicely done.

330ml bottle. Slightly cloudy, yellow-ish, golden colour with average, frothy, half-way, lasting, minimally lacing, snow white head. Slightly grainy, pale malty dusty yeasty and grassy hoppy, overallrather earthy aroma, hints of leather, leather shoes, even a weak touch of peat. Taste is slightly grainy and minimally spicy, pale malty, slightly herbal-grassy hoppy and dusty yeasty, hints of leather, leather shoes again, a touch of thistle, peat, some black pepper.
Quite earthy, not the most appealing flavours, not even in the dirty aspects - meh!

33cl can, BB 31/03/2027.
Brune foncée, noire, col épais crémeux blanc-cassé.
Arôme sur un caractère bien malté - le volet noix de coco - pourtant l'intitulé de ce stout, est en retrait, le tout passe sur un léger effet 'fourrage' off, pas vraiment de présence de la vanille avec un support chocolaté qui arrive en rétro-nasal.
Palais sur un caractère de coco un peu plus dominant que au nez - le tout repris en support par les malts - pâle, caramel, chocolat voire une fine onctuosité de cacao rappelant une ganache. Amertume houblonné en balance et un effet de vanille trop minimaliste.
Dommage avec un caractère de noix de coco qui tombe un peu ou ne semble pas vraiment bien placé.

Pale Ale brassée avec Mosaic et Chinook, cette Soif ! pêche cruellement par un houblonnage à cru trop poussé. Et même si cela amène une amertume appréciable, les arômes herbacés saturés et piquants gâchent à mon sens la bière. En verre nous somme sur un blond limpide avec une fine effervescence soutenue et une mousse blanche crémeuse abondante. Au nez, cela sent fort les herbes et le plastique avec de l'abricot, du pamplemousse et de la mandarine. En bouche, le côté plastique disparait mais l'houblonage à cru nettement trop poussé rend les arômes herbacés hyper dominant. L'ensemble pique de surcroît. Le couple amertume, alcool et sucre est toutefois bien dosé avec une complexité intéressante. Corpulence et longueur sont honnêtes sans plus. Houblonnage à cru à revoir.
