Mid-hazed, golden colour with an orange hue, a frothy white cap, good retention and wet-foamy lacing. Melon, peach aromas from the Krush hops, giving a nice balance of tropical-stones fruits with a touch of citrus. All of these fruits show up in the taste, but a tad milder as the Pale Ale style. A wet mouthfeel with some nice building, light dryness in the end. Quite a nice juicy, refreshing Hazy Pale Ale that goes down very well, with the Krush hops.

750ml bottle that pours a hazy golden-orange colour with a brown hue, a warm white-yellowish frothy head, good retention and lots of fluffy-foamy lacing. Some nice, fresh orangy aromas showing some blood oranges with a blend of grassy-herbal hops. It reminds me of the HoneyDew concentrate frozen orange juice in the 80s. The taste is also oranges, with not only their juices, but zest, giving a bitter, drying finish. A good, refreshing-but-dry, somewhat juicy, stronger Hazy IPA.

Slightly hazy copper pour, with a small white head. very earthy hop aroma, with stale grains, and grassy hops. Medium bitterness, wet cardboard, musty grains..... This was rough.

On tap at le mondiale.
Clear amber pour, small white head. Aroma of biscuity malts, light pine hops.
The hop profile is quite weak, just a touch of pine and not much else. The malts are quite dominant, and bready. This is along the lines of an enlgish pale if you ask me.

Hazy golden colour with a white head, average retention and some decent streaky creamy lacing. Sour aromas with a nice touch of the lemon balm. The taste is a sour blonde base with the tart showing, as lighter in alcohol. Lemony notes help out, and some of the sourness lingers a bit more. A nice light sour ale with lemon balm added for that natural touch.

A very slight haze, brown-amber colour with golden highlights. The head is frothy, light-beige with good retention and thick, creamyish lacing. Chocolate malt aromas with a touch of caramel malt, and some decent grassy hops to conclude. The mouthfeel is crisp with a good drying finish. Toasty malt flavours with a tad caramel and the hops well-blending in the end. A pretty good, hoppier Brown Ale with a touch more alcohol that does the job.

A fairly clean golden-amber colour with a small off-white head, average stay and light lace. Spicy, rye-like grains, alcohol warming, with some hoppy bitterness, hints of wheat-banana for aromas. The cloves come out a little more in the taste, but still blends well with the barley, tad wheat and mild grassiness. A nice stronger Belgian amber beer that different, with only cloves as a spice in here.

Hazy, lightly unfiltered as well, golden colour, maybe an amber light hue. A whitish small cap, average stay and some decent lacing spots. Fruity nose with some sourness and hints of salt, coriander. The flavours blend even better the sour notes with the saltiness, spices, fruitiness and light tart. Another good sumac brew, as I am really enjoying this natural beauty added to beers.

Pours a darker brown colour, clean, with ruby-amber highlights. The head is creamyish, fluffy, light beige with good retention and leaving thick frothy lacing. Roasted barley aromas with hints of smokiness, molasses. The roasted malt is blended with grassy hops that lingers. The mouthfeel is wet, with a building, late dryness. Not a bad Schwarzbier with a touch more hoppiness in the mouth.

Lightly hazed, golden colour with an amber hue. The head is white, frothy, decent lasting and leaving nice lacing. Mild citrus aromas with yeast notes, hints of berries and tropical fruits. Some decent herbal touches in the taste that give a nice drying finish. Straw malt base, a tad spiciness, and some good citrus zest. Quite a lot going one for a 4% ABV brew. - nicely done.
