Notes de chocolat sucré assorties d’un soupçon d’orange et de vanille en guise d’olfactif.
Accents de brownies au chocolat, de nougat.
Des arômes de dessert bien sucré.
Liquide noir et opaque avec mousse moyennement petite et moyennement tenace.
Beaucoup de vanille et de chocolat en bouche avec une trace d’orange.
Caractère pâtissier évident, riche et intensément sucré qui se répercute jusqu’en finale, avec une légère pointe d’alcool et aucune amertume.
Une bière dessert.
Très agréable au goût parce qu’intensément sucrée mais tombe sur le cœur à la longue.
Appréciée !

Hazy, golden-orange colour with a small white head, but leaving some nice creamy-sticky lacing. Lots of fruitiness in the nose with a blend of mango and a touch of pineapples. Some orange juices balance the rest. The white grapes of wine of Nelson Sauvin come out in the taste, mixed with the citrus, stone fruits and tad grassiness. A very nice, juicy NEIPA that seems lighter in mouthfeel, but with some good fruitiness and hoppiness of three different levels.

A decent slight haze, golden colour with a white head, good stay and sticky, creamy lacing clouds. Yeasty aromas with good maltiness, cereal notes and fresh herbal hops. The taste shows nice spicy malts found in Pils, with the yeastiness blending well and a touch of grassiness. A crisp mouthfeel with some well-balanced drying finish. A good refreshing Pale Ale with rice blending things well, but the hops balancing things nicely.

Can: Poured a hazy/cloudy yellow color ale with a nice white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of juicy citrusy hops notes with some floral hops undertones and some tropical notes. Taste is also a mix of juicy citrusy notes with some floral undertones and some tropical notes with a semi-dry finish. Body is quite full with good carbonation. Enjoyable NEIPA but the juicy factor could have been amped up.
