La palette olfactive révèle des accents floraux, des notes de poire, un fond tropical, le tout sur une base maltée subtilement miellée. Le liquide jaune paille, un peu verdâtre se couvre d’une mousse rocailleuse moyennement épaisse qui descend rapidement mais qui laisse une trainée crémeuse qui persiste très longtemps. Entrée de bouche où l’on relève des accents herbacés assez intenses, de la verdure, signe de houblons jeunes et fraichement cueillis. L’amertume est intense, résineuse, herbacée et âpre. Les malts révèlent des tons miellés et réduisent quelque peu l’amertume. Les saveurs de houblons sont ici assez particulières, résultant probablement de cueillette récente n’ayant laissé le temps de prendre toute leurs saveurs. Très moyennement appréciée.

Pours a very slight hazed, golden colour with a fizzy-bubbly off-white head that does not stay much, and no lacing left. The aromas still have lots of citrus with those hops, reminding me a little more of a NEIPA - not West Coast. Tropical fruits, stone fruits... and then, come grassiness comes out, with a touch of pine. The taste is more like the style should be - grassy, a little piney and decent bitterness. Not juicy (of course), but wet enough to be refreshing, and the building dryness is nice. Resinous notes do linger softly. Not the best looking beer, and the nose is a mix of the two coasts, but the flavours are at least salvageable.

Hazy golden-beige colour with a frothy white cap, good stay and some decent foamy lacing. Lots of particles through it, even some hop pieces floating, and not ending well in the mouth. Citrus aromas with some vinous notes from the Riwaka-Topaz, and tropical fruits from the El Dorado. Some peach comes out in the flavours with the citrus notes blending with the white grapes. Some pretty strong bitterness in the finish - especially for a NEIPA. This might be the first time that those hops floating around, as felt in the mouth, so spitting them out. The rest is a good IPA that has good juiciness, fruitiness for the NE-style, but has stronger bitterness in the end.

Pours a clean, dark brown with ruby-copper highlights, a big frothy-bubbly warm, light-mocha coloured head, good retention and spots of soapy lacing all-around. Mild roasted malt aromas with a touch of dark fruits, chocolate, coffee, licorice and even banana notes. The taste shows milder roasted barley as base, with a tad molasses blended with some nice hops to finish things off. A very easy-drinking dark lager with still lots going one, but well-balanced.

Mildly hazy, bright light golden-yellow colour with a bubbly white cap, average retention and lots of foamy lacing spots. Lemon, citrus nose with some Belgian yeast notes giving a touch of spices. The taste is milder, but still has the citrus, yeast and spices. Quite an easy-drinking Grisette with all of these fresh Saison notes in a lighter version.
