One version of what seems to be a whole string of IPAs by this prominent French craft brewer, 75 cl bottle shared with Johan, coming from the pack sold at BXL Beerfest this year. Egg-white, mousy, large-bubbled, membrane-like lacing, stable head, misty straw blonde robe with ochre-ish tinge. Aroma of mango juice, lychee, lemon curd, yellow kiwi, sugared white yoghurt or cream, bread dough, papaja, green onion, chalk, fresh leek, starfruit. Juicy, fruity onset, sourish note, lime-like, but predominantly pineapple-, mango- and starfruit-coloured, fizzy carbonation, soft doughy-bready malt body with a soapy edge, quickly soaked in herbal, citric, mildly bittering hoppiness providing grapefruit peel- and slightly dried mango-like aromas retronasally. Strangely less abundantly aromatic retronasally than orthonasally (alas) and lacking a bit in end bitterness to provide structure to the finish, which as a result comes across as a little bit bland. Drinkable enough though, but France has produced better IPAs even in the new juicy and hazy idiom.

Tap at Moeder Lambic. Very tropical, mango and grapefruit aroma, pine too maybe. Taste is good. Little bit of body to it. Not so bitter, almost a little sweet. Nice. Low carbonation.
