Light golden colour, fairly clean with a small white cap, not lasting much, and not giving any lacing. Decent spiced nose from the Pils malts and a touch of herbs. The mouthfeel is wet with a tad dryness, but not much. Some spiciness in the taste as well, almost giving hints of fresh ginger, but the straw malt base lingers. An easy-drinking Pilsner that adds a little spiciness to the Blonde side of things.

Hazy golden colour with a tad amber hue, a big bubbly-frothy white cap, good stay and leaving some soapy spots. Got a mild aroma of pineapple-coconut at first pour, but then - the citrus zest, bite, bitterness comes out. In the taste, loads of citrus juices, a touch of pineapple, with the coconut notes lingering, smoothly away with decent dryness. Big hoppy particles come out at last pour, and gets much zestier in the finish. Not a bad NEIPA, but the zestiness-dryness gets a little too much for the style, and takes away from the juiciness.

Lightly unfiltered with a bunch of tiny particles floating around, creating a tad haziness. The head is bubbly, white, with average stay and some decent soapy lacing spots. Got a nice whiff of white wine grapes at can opening, but seems to disappear quickly, leaving more of the single malt with a touch of grassiness. Hints of tropical and stone fruits do come out. A soft vinous note happens in the taste with a fairly good, slow building dryness, leaving a grassy bitterness. The mouthfeel is slick and oily at first. Not a bad SMaSH IPA - but was expecting more wine characteristics and less dry-bitterness in the end.

Des accents de pain crouté nous titillent les narines laissant une impression bien céréalière. Des houblons herbacés et subtilement épicés s’affirment également. Une mousse moyennement petite et plutôt éphémère se dépose sur le liquide doré totalement limpide. Les houblons dominent l’entrée de bouche avec des notes florales, herbacées et légèrement épicées. Les accents maltés se réservent la rétro olfaction avec des notes de céréales aux tons de pain frais et subtilement miellées. L’amertume est douce et moindre qu’a l’habitude pour ce style. Traditionnelle mais pas exceptionnelle. O:7.84 V:3.25 G:7.35 C:4.0 G:14.11 T:36.55

Cerises et épices dominent l’olfactif. Arômes maltés de caramel et de cannelle. La mousse beige est épaisse, assez crémeuse et très persistante. Le liquide est brun rougeâtre, presque limpide et bien effervescent. Des cerises caramélisées en entrée de bouche sur une bonne effervescence et une certaine chaleur d’alcool. Une légère perception d’esters de fruits noirs (pruneaux) mais ça reste en deçà des standards. Le corps est moyennement rond et la carbonatation un peu en dessous des exemples Belges. Cerises et caramel bien en évidence dans cette Dubbel moins carbonatée que les standards du style tout en restant chaleureuse et corpulente. O:6.96 V:4.27 G:6.76 C:3.42 G:13.4 T:34.81

Older can found in an IGA with old label, so here goes. Lightly hazed, golden colour with a creamyish, whitish head that stays a while and leaves good thick-soapy lacing. Citrus zest aromas with grassy notes. The taste is also fairly zesty-grassy. After having my most well-rated Pilsner from Hill Farmstead (Mary), it is hard to have anything else. This feels more like a juicy-hazy NEPA.

Clean, amber colour with some golden highlights, a big creamy-frothy warm off-white head, good stay and some thicker, wavy, frothy lacing. Big cereal, dark grain aromas with molasses, notes of dark fruits and mineral water. The cereal grains continue in the taste as base with hints of spices, Belgian yeast. It does get a little hazy as it pours, with some particles. A decent Dubbel with a touch more cereal than the sweeter, Belgian ones.

Clear reddish color and small white head. Cherry, red currant and red fruits in the nose. Crisp and refreshing. Fruity, nice bitterness (raspberry pips?) and a fruity-decent bitter finish
