Quite hazy for the style, golden with an orange hue, an off-white frothy-bubbly head, good retention and full of sticky lacing. Super fruity aromas that you would find in not only NEIPAs, but Double NEIPAs. Oranges, mangoes, mild peaches and a tad of funk that comes out eventually. Citrus flavours with again, lots of oranges, light lemon zest, stone-tropical fruit notes and oats lingering. A juicy mouthfeel with light, slow building dryness. Mild tart left on the tongue. This is quite the fruity, juicy NEPA, that feels closer to a full NEIPA - not cutting down on pleasure.

Draft: Poured a clear amber color ale with a medium size foamy head with OK retention and some lacing. Aroma of semi-sweet caramelized malt. Taste is also a mix of semi-sweet caramelized malt notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Middle of the road amber that pairs well with the BBQ dinner I had.

Lightly hazed, darker amber colour, a nice creamyish warm, light-beige head that lasts a while. The bottle does over overflow with what looks like a bubble bath soapy action. Big apple nose with a touch of caramel malt, hints of vanilla-oak and red wine. The Belgian Dubbel style is mild with spices, and again - full apples in the flavours. Some cherry sourness is maybe hidden in there, and toast. Quite smooth as a mouthfeel, not too thick, with a nice, light drying finish. An easy-drinking Belgian strong beer with lots of apple notes and a tad barrel funk.

Gushing à l’ouverture de la bouteille.
Plusieurs bouteilles de cette brasserie ont ce même défaut.
Au nez, on a de forts accents de menthe et de lime comme des bonbons à la menthe.
Notes de genévrier provenant du gin.
Les adjuvants et les accents de gin dominent la palette olfactive au détriment de la base acidulée et du malt.
Liquide ambré, flou et opaque.
Petite mousse effervescente qui ne tient pas.
En entrée de bouche, le sel se manifeste avec le gin qui laisse passer ses notes de genévrier et un léger boisé.
Lime et menthe sont également au programme pour assurer une bonne complexité et un bel équilibre des saveurs.
L’acidité lactique est plus présente qu’au nez et demeure de force modérée, ajoutant un petit twist à l’ensemble.
La base maltée assure une présence presque sucrée.
La finale dégage une très légère amertume accentuée par le caractère de verdure.
La carbonatation est faible et le corps plus ample dû à sa maturation et à son impérialité.
Surprenamment complexe avec autant les adjuvants, la barrique et les ingrédients de base.
Beaucoup appréciée sauf pour le gushing.

A black colour, no highlights, with a smaller warm-beige coloured head, light retention and a soft ring left around the beer. Big chocolat, cacao aromas with some nuttiness, coconut and with a touch of alcohol-barrel spirit. A slick, slightly oily mouthfeel, but lighter than a Stout, being a lager - like it should be. Some dark fruits in the flavours, so less chocolaty, showing off a bit more the roasted malts, and not as sweet as the nose gives out to be. A tad maple lingers on the tongue, but not syrupy. A nutty tartiness is left afterwards. Quite a nice Baltic Porter that adds a nice Quebec barrel touch.

Clean, mid-golden colour with a whitish head, average stay and some light foamy lacing. Some good cereal malt base with a touch of spiciness, and some herbal-grape hoppiness. The taste shows a nice blend of Pilsner spiciness, cereal malts, herbal-grassiness and a tad white wine. Even, some particles comes out at last pour. Quite a nice, spicy, refreshing Pilsner with a touch of New-Zealand hops.

Clean, amber colour with some golden highlights, a warm off-white frothy head, good stay and some foamy lacing left. Grassy aromas with some pine wood chips and a caramel malt base. The taste shows decent bitterness, with a herbaceous touch, some pine needles and a tad caramel-cereal maltiness. A nice West Coast IPA collaboration between Spark Beer (which I use to live close-by, and Gallicus celebrating their 7th year).
