Des arômes tropicaux aux notes de mangue, de fruit de la passion et de pamplemousse nous titillent doucement le nez en s’exprimant de façon un peu trop subtile. De couleur jaune orangé, le liquide est très opaque et développe une toute petite mousse éphémère. En bouche, on y trouve du zeste de pamplemousse qui s’intègre aux notes de conifère pour y développer une amertume résineuse et poivrée. En fond de toile quelques notes tropicales viennent agrémenter la palette mais de façon plutôt discrète. La finale laisse trainer un poivre assez intense et des notes de pin qui s’éternisent pendant quelques secondes. Le corps est moins rond que la moyenne pour ce style et donne une texture plus aqueuse. La carbonatation est conforme mais accentuée par le poivre qui domine une bonne partie de la fin de bouche qui implorerait plutôt un fruité plus varié. Pas tout à fait dans mes cordes pour ce type de bière.

(473ml can from L'Axe du Malt, Quebec City) Pours opaque dark yellow with a tight white head that fades with spotty lace. Aroma of funk-dank overripe mango, peach, light accents of pineapple and coconut cream, some sweet milkshake-y overtones. Flavour is lighter than the nose with notes of soft mango, pineapple, peach skins, a little grapefruit, grass, some slight coco-vanilla accents, finishes bone dry with powdery yeast, some bitter grassy slightly oniony hops and a slight candy vibe. Light to medium body with average carbonation. A bit light on flavour really despite a nice nose, and I’m not a huge fan of the finish. Preferred the Sabro and Idaho 7 version.

(473ml can from L'Axe du Malt, Quebec City) Pours a rather murky pale orange with a small white head and no lace. Aroma of fresh coconut, herbs, grapefruit peels, canned pineapple, slight musky dank note. Flavour is bright and fresh with lots of herbs and grass, coconut, papaya, grapefruit, some light pineapple, quite dry overall with very light malt backing and a heavy dose of Sabro. Finishes bone dry with lots of coconut and herb vibes, some lighter citrus peel and a little chalk. Light to moderate body with average plus carbonation. Loads of Sabro in here for sure, by far the dominant character in what's a love it or hate it IPA thanks to that hop.

(473ml can from L'Axe du Malt, Quebec City) Pours incredibly murky dull orangish with a decent sized thick white head and spotty lace. Aroma of nice floral orange and lychee, orange peels, touch of mango, fresh conifers, a bit of canned tropical fruit, biscuit malt, a little oniony pepperiness. Flavour is light to moderate sweet up front but dries out from the middle on, again pretty orange-forward and floral, a little perfume/soap quality maybe, fresh conifers, some biscuity malt, powdery yeast, touch of onion. moderately bitter tangy finish, maybe a little metallic astringency. Medium-bodied with soft to moderate carb. Felt like this lacked a little tightness but it was still quite solid.
