Fairly clean, golden colour with an amber hue, a warmish white cap, good retention and thick patches of foamy lacing. Some grassiness in the nose with a bit of caramel malt, citrus, a tad funk and pineapples. The taste has a good amount of resinous notes, over soft malts, some citrusy zest and a little fruitiness. The bitterness does build with time, and some good dryness appears in the finish. Wow, quite a lot going on in here for a Pale Ale version of the West Coast.

Des arômes légèrement chevalins, un peu terreux et accentués d’une touche de pêche.
Liquide jaune et flou couvert d’une mousse d’épaisseur moyenne, effervescente et éphémère.
Entrée de bouche aqueuse et carbonatée qui recèle un environnement plutôt sauvage sans être fermier.
De subtiles notes de pêches, des accents terreux et une perception de notes s’approchant de la sueur et du fromage.
Aucune saveur ne ressort vraiment.
Cette bière me laisse de marbre.
Rare déception de cette brasserie.

Hazy, golden colour with an orange hue, a creamy, warm-white head, good retention and sticky, foamy lacing streaks. Aromas are on the milder side than usual NEIPA of this brewery. Some tropical fruitiness, citrus, light herbal-floral notes and a tad yeast. Lighter as well in the taste with citrus mostly, some decent bitterness, zestiness and then - dryness. Nice looking, but feels more like a New England Pale Ale, but with 6.5% ABV.

Hazy, golden colour with an orange hue, a white frothy cap, good stay and sticky, lacing streaks. The nose is on the light side, with some tropical fruits, stone fruits, melons and maybe hints of citrus, pineapples. A wet mouthfeel with very mild dryness. It does build a touch more as it lingers. The taste is a little punchier, with all of the fruits found in the aromas, but the citrus zest blends more. Still, not the strength I was expecting - feels more like a NEPA than a NEIPA.

10 month old, but still solid. Lightly hazed by tiny particles floating around, lively carbonation, a white frothy head, good stay and thick creamy lacing. Some nice spicy Pils malts, some herbal touch of Italian Pils, mineral notes, cereal maltiness and a tad Belgian yeast. The taste is malty with a little sweetness, cereal grain, blended with a herbal hoppiness and a mineral, fizzy finish. Quite a nice, easier drinking Pale ale with an Italian Pilsner and Belgian feel.
