Accents tropicaux et citriques explosifs au nez avec ananas, pamplemousse, fruit de la passion, ainsi que du conifère sous forme de pin et de la résine.
La mousse est généreuse sur le liquide doré subtilement voilé.
En bouche, c’est équilibré entre le fruité et l’amertume avec les houblons bien en valeur.
Notes de fruits à chair blanche, de pêche, d’ananas supportés par des accents terreux et résineux légèrement poivrés et des conifères au gout de pin.
L’amertume est très élevée sans être âpre ou astringente.
Le corps est moins puissant qu’une habituelle West Coast.
La texture est très veloutée.
Extrêmement complexe cette bière.
Bien équilibrée entre le fruité et l’amertume.
Très appréciée !

Hazy golden colour with an orange hue, a bubbly off-white head, average stay and some foamy-bubbly lace-ring. Getting some fresh citrusy notes with their sourness, clementine fruitiness, mild saltiness and even the coriander is felt here. The pineapple and mango are blended in, so not sticking out. The mango comes out a little more in the taste with the coriander. A thicker, but smooth mouthfeel with some good juiciness. Maybe the pineapples were more present when the beer was real fresh, but I do not mind having the mangoes, citruses and coriander showing off, over the sweetness.

A slight haze, golden colour with a big, frothy-creamy warm-white head, good retention and some good lacing patches. A nose of sourness with fruitiness (more of the apricots) and mild saltiness. The peach comes out above in the taste, blended with the sour notes, apricots and light salty touch. Gets hazier as it pours, and some particles do come out. Quite a nice, refreshing, fruity Gose with two beauties from the Niagara region (peach, apricot).

Can: Poured a hazy/cloudy yellow color ale with a large white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrusy hoppy notes with some juicy floral hops undertones and a semi-dry finale. Taste is also a good mix of citrusy hoppy notes with some juicy floral hops undertones with tropical notes and a semi-dry finish. Body is full for style with good carbonation. Enjoyable NEIPA with some tropical notes but juicy factors could have been amped up.

Hazy, golden-orange colour with a smaller, frothy, warm-white head, decent stay and lots of sticky, foamy lacing. Some nice aromas of spicy malts, some white wine notes, citrus and mild grassiness. A juicy mouthfeel with some light dryness in the finish. Flavours of citrus zest, juices, some white grapes and some herbal notes. A refreshing, citrusy NEIPA with a touch of Sauvignon wine.

Very lightly hazed, golden colour with an amber hue, a big white creamy-frothy head with good retention and thick creamy-foamy lacing. Citrusy aromas with grapefruit zest, some mild caramel malt base with a resinous touch. A slick mouthfeel, a tad oily with a slow building, light drying finish. Gets a little hazier as it pours, and the tiny-active bubble carbonation is pleasant. A little more resin in the taste with a blending citrus peel, adding just enough bitterness for the style. A very drinkable, kind of refreshing West Coast Pale Ale that goes down very nicely.

Appearance - 9 | Aroma - 7.5 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 8.5
Ambiance olfactive bien maltée avec des fruits confits, des jujubes, un peu de caramel et de poire.
Beaucoup d’esters fruités dans cette palette aromatique.
Le liquide est ambré et partiellement voilé.
La mousse est énorme, crémeuse et éternelle.
En bouche, c’est également extrêmement malté et fruité dans un ensemble piquant, poivré et subtilement terreux.
Des notes de poire sucrée, de fruits confits, de caramel sur une base de levure très légèrement acidulée et sauvage.
Peut-être un peu trop légèrement pour moi.
La finale est plus maltée qu’amère mais conserve néanmoins un certain environnement terreux.
Une réalisation d’exception de 5e Baron et Tooth and Nail.
Il y manque cependant un côté un peu plus sauvage pour qu’elle soit de classe mondiale.
Très appréciée !

Lightly hazed by tiny particles floating around. A golden-amber colour with a white head, good stay, leaving some sticky-creamy lacing streaks. Cereal malt aromas with a touch of rye spiciness, some grassy hop notes and hints of grapefruit zest. The taste shows some light caramel malt base with a tad cereal nots, and some big bitter hoppiness. Quite a good West Coast Pale Ale hop bomb, that has more of an IPA feel. Brilliant!
