On tap at the brewery. Pours clear blonde with a white head. Grassy and skunky on the nose. Flavour has some peppery hops and skunky malts. It's light and crisp, but the skunky character brings it solidly into the territory of mediocrity.

On tap at the brewery. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Dank and piney on the nose; a bit of Nelaon tang. Flavour has lots of pine, resin, some dank oils, and a bit of tangy NZ hops. Nice.

On tap at the brewery. Pours black with a beige head. Bourbon barrels and coffee on the nose; a bit of green pepper. Flavour has a lot of coffee and some bourbon barrels in the background; a bit of dried fruits and burnt sugars. Tastes like it wasn't a long barrel-aging period, but the base is good so the beer is solid.

On tap at the brewery. Pours clear gold with a white head. Spicy Belgian yeast and a bit of phenols on the nose. Flavour has a nice peppery Belgian yeast expression, grassy hops, a touch phenolic on the finish. Aside from the minor phenol issue this is a solid Belgian IPA for a North American brewery.

8.4
Appearance - 9 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 8.5 | Texture - 9 | Overall - 8

Pamplemousse, ananas et poire dominent un olfactif bien fruité laissant dégager une subtile résine et du zeste.
Mousse assez généreuse et persistante sur liquide jaune et opaque.
En bouche, outre l’ananas et la poire, on a des fruits à chair blanche, de subtiles notes de noix de coco et un peu de cèdre issus du Sabro.
L’amertume est moins résineuse qu’attendue, le zeste composant principalement cette dernière.
Une NEIPA intéressante qui met en valeur le Sabro malgré sa proportion restreinte dans la balance.
Bien appréciée !

A very slight haze, golden colour with a forthy-creamyish white head, good retention and full of sticky lacing. Aromas of a light caramel malt base, a touch of resin and some tropical fruit hints, berries. The berry notes come out nicely in the taste, with the resinous flavours, grassy hops and light caramel malts. A wet mouthfeel with some good dryness in the finish. Quite a nice, kind of refreshing West Coast IPA with lots going on - but all well-blended.
