Bière dégustée à la maison, trouvée en destockage chez Noz. Robe dorée, mousse blanche et compacte. Nez marqué par des agrumes (mandarine, ananas) et des houblons assez prononcés, avec quelques notes de malts biscuités et une pointe de pin. Attaque sèche, amertume intense, finale nette et classique d’une IPA. C’est une vraie IPA traditionnelle, mais ce n’est pas vraiment mon style : le nez me paraît un peu désagréable et le côté fruité n’est pas assez développé à mon goût. Ensemble correct, mais pas complètement séduisant pour moi.

The nose has elements of citrus fruit, dank grapefruit and sweet malt. This IPA has a lot going on, with some sweetness, caramel malt and fresh, hoppiness. Grapefruit with a touch of orange and lemon with a clinging bitterness at the end. It is a touch oily (in a good way) with a sold blend and laudable freshness.

It is a really good IPA, all the things that you can expect, powerful bitterness, good quality of hop, malt. 06.09.2016, sharing this beer with Fred, buying it at the ex grain d'Orges, Crissier.

Old rating from 18-10-16 - A 355ml bottle brought in Whole Foods while in NYC. Pours a bright golden orange colour with a small foamy white head which leaves lacing. Moderate carbonation. Aromas of grapefruit, orange peel, citrus, tropical fruits, sweet candy, grass and dry hay. A comforting malty citrus backbone is present throughout with an initial taste of grapefruit, orange, and lemon, finishing with a hoppy grapefruit flavour that lingers, but does not dominate. Medium sweet aftertaste with a malty grapefruit medium hopped bitter finish. Overall, a very good fruity AIPA.

Draught from stomping ground. Poured a nice orange Amber. Pretty fruity hit, clean and cold. Great warm weather brew
