Dry malt body, the finish is a little muted.

Can that pours a very slight, unfiltered amber colour with nice carbonation, a frothy warm off-white head, good retention and creamy-foamy lacing. Some good grassy hops in the nose with a herbal touch and caramel malt base. The taste is fresh with beautiful herbs blending with the caramel-cereal malts. A refreshing kinda mouthfeel with some nice slow building dryness. Some mild resinous notes lingers. All-around, a nice West Coast IPA that goes down well.

Proéminence de notes fermières et chevalines au nez avec de très subtiles tons de pomme.
Le liquide est doré et flou sans être opaque.
La mousse épaisse, rocailleuse et persistante.
En bouche, les pommes sont bien plus présentes et équilibrés.
L’équilibre est un élément clé de cette bière ; mettant autant en valeur le fruit (pomme) que la complexité des éléments sauvages et acidulés.
La base maltée céréalière ajoute une subtilité sucrée à l’ensemble.
Le côté acidulé est moyennement doux et sans agressivité.
Une bière hautement appréciée !

Un amalgame d'alcool, de petit caramel biscuité, de boisé et de houblons terreux nous sert d'introduction olfactive.
De couleur ambré profond, cuivré et parfaitement limpide, le liquide se couvre d'une petite mousse éphémère qui demeure en filet sur le dessus.
Réchauffante en bouche, légèrement caramélisée, boisée et terreuse en finale.
Des esters de fruits rouges s'insèrent dans la palette.
Le caractère malté est riche et complexe, s'imprégnant d'un boisé omniprésent et intégrant un alcool chaleureux et légèrement épicé.
Une bière chaleureuse, boisée et terreuse qui représente très bien ce qu'est une old ale ou stock ale Anglaise.
Bien appréciée !

A slight hazed, golden-amber colour with a bubbly off-white cap, average retention, leaving a few soapy lacing spots. Big fruity aromas with a blend of tropical and stone fruits. Hints of raisins and plums (might be less fresh -forgot about this one in my stash). A smooth, wet mouthfeel with just enough dryness in the finish, retaining some good juiciness. With all of the tropical fruitiness, a nice touch of resin in the flavours. Gets quite hazy near the end with particles going to the bottom. A nice juicy, tropical NEIPA with resinous notes.

Lightly hazed, golden colour with an amber hue, a bubbly white cap, decent stay and some soapy lacing spots. Definite pineapples from the El Dorado hops, in the nose. Some other tropical, stone fruit notes, all blended in there. The taste balances the pineapples with the other fruity notes. A wet mouthfeel with a little dryness building in the finish. Not a bad NEIPA - if you like the El Dorado pineapple touch with tropical fruitiness.

Dark amber-brown, no head. This is interesting. The aroma has a fair bit of toastiness, light fruitiness, some alcohol. This doesn't have a lot of bitterness, but it's certainly got a fair bit of malt, alcohol. The malt is toasty, but also has some old ale type oiliness, dried hops, raisins, some marmaladey accents. Light tartness in the finish as well. Described as barley wine, but it's an old ale for me.
