Many thanks to Rian for sharing the 37,5cl bottle. Smooth sourish note. Smooth bitter-sweet nose. Fresh, smooth. Nice but a bit mouldy. Nice smooth-mild yeasty. Very yeasty-smooth, fresh. The aftertaste is slightly bitter, fresh-yeasty-sweetish, smooth and great!

Sampled draft @ Delirium Hoppy Loft. Side-by-side 30/60/90. Thx! Murky looking amber, solid white head. Taste is an interesting mix of sweet & lightly bitter that I quite enjoyed but that people who are into hoppy beers probably won’t. Smell is lemon, herbs, sugar, lightly fruity hops soaked in brown sugar sweetness. Taste is bitter bark, light pine & herbal leading into faintly syrupy brown sugar & light cake sweetness. Faintly sticky body. Nice.

Sampled draft @ Delirium Hoppy Loft. Side-by-side 30/60/90. Thx! Lightest citrus golden, little white head. Nose is basic, simple white sugar sweet, mellow lemon, yeast. Taste is pretty inoffensive & dull, lightly bitter yeast, white sugar sweet, tea bag cafeteria lemon tea. Med. to touch lower body. Drinks okay but is just too dull & inoffensive for its own good.

Dégustation des 3 verres au Hoppy Loft, Bruxelles. Couleur dorée tirant sur un léger ambré-orangé, col blanc. Arôme offre un bouquet prenant houblonné avec un résiduel fleuri-pin typique du Chinook. Malheureusement ces effluves sont à mettre en avaleur avec une base maltée Pils qui ici aussi l’emporte de trop sur le malt. C’est tout de même là le but d’une bière single hop de mettre ne avant le caractère du houblon? Palais arrive enfin à mettre le houblon en avant, Chinook ressort bien avec des notes de pin, et une pointe d’épice. Cependant le caractère belge venant surtout de la levure, qui doit être la même base que la Curtius, tant à prendre le dessus sur le houblon. Cela n’est pas aidé par un malté tout autant encombrant. On retombe vite dans une zone de confort belge où on s’aventure trop lentement à vouloir mettre en avant le caractère unique de ces houblons. Malheureusement d’autres pays ne sont pas autant craintifs et devancent de loin ce qui se fait ici. Ces trois bières confirment cela. Tout comme ses deux consœurs, cette version déçoit. Le côté 96IBU la sauve un peu du même marasme et on est trompé par le charme 30-60-90 qui augure pour moi un rappel à la série Dogfish Head qui sont de vraies IPAs.
