Grainy and bitter, rough yeastiness. Quite sweet and strong bitter. Medium body and soft carbonation. A more hoppy (French) blonde beer. | [2020-08-01 22:12:44] - Locatie: Brouwerij De Prael - Score: 3.4 - Comment: Hoppig, harsig, bitter. Gebrouwen in Den Haag. | [2026-08-07 01:37:00] - Locatie: Carrer del Rossinyol - Score: 3.8 - Comment: Very fresh and crafty for a French IPA. The present and strong aromatic hops are herbal and piney rather than very fruity. Sage and spruce or something like that. Quite unusual. And the base is still quite worty. Light sweet, quite bitter. West coasty.

Cloudy pale amber colour, small foamy white head, recedes slowly, heavy lacing. Aroma malty, grain, orange, peach, candy sugar, grass, citrus. Taste medium bittersweet, citrus notes. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation, dry medium bitter aftertaste, herbal notes. Overall a nice refreshing IPA.

Lahev: Deep golden with an orangey sheen, cloudy, floaties visible, big loose rocky white head; quite mild herbal-grainy nose with an Illusion of tea-leaves; dry - but not too dry - moderate bitter-sweet flavour, medium bodied; lingering dry bitter-sweet finish with a light tartness in the very end. Just O.K. ...

Draught at the brewpub in Amsterdam. Hazed yellow straw coloured pour the with a lasting white cap. Aroma is composed of grassy hop, vanilla ice cream and some toffee. Flavour is weird, toffee and maybe some duacetyl, orange and grassy hop. Palate is crisp, semi sweet and high carbonation. A bit too sweet for my taste and not hoppy enough.

Bottle from the brewery store. Dark amber, hazy body, with a big, frothy, white head. Sweet aroma of citrus, orange, passion fruit, yeast, caramel, honey. Taste is alao pretty sweet, with orange, sweet fruits, grass, caramel, honey. Mouthfeel is medium, slick, with a moderate carbonation and it finishes medium bitter, fruity and grassy. Too sweet for my liking. Very juicy, almost sticky, from both sweet malts and sweet fruits, with some more grass notes. Overall not bad, but I’ve had much better Dutch IPAs.
