Fairly clean, very light golden-yellow colour with a small white head, average stay and some mild lace left on the brew, and around it with a ring. Decent cereal malt aromas with a touch of corn, but more herbal notes for the style. The taste shows again some nice touch of herbs, grassiness, over light sweet cereal malts. A decent, refreshing Mexican lager with a little more Pilsner hoppiness.

Lightly hazed with a golden-yellow colour, orange highlights, a white frothy head, decent stay and foamy lacing spots. Honey aromas with some citrus notes, tropical and stone fruits hints. The taste shows again lots of sweet honey with the citrus zest and mild juices. A lighter mouthfeel, but still has lots of grab for a Nano beer. All-around, a good Nano IPA that hits the Session IPA stage.

Medium hazed, golden-yellow colour with a white cap, decent stay and foamy lacing streaks. Some nice peach aromas with the milder citrus notes, and eventually, some vanilla. A juicy mouthfeel with mostly citrus flavours, a touch of tropical-stone fruits and very mild, zest-dryness in the finish. Not a bad, refreshing Session NEIPA that gets better as it goes, and makes you forget it is only 4% ABV.

Hazy golden colour with an orange hue, a big frothy white cap, good retention and thicker foamy-soapy lacing left. Orange juice and zest aromas with some oats and very mild other fruitiness. Citrus zestiness in the taste with decent drying bitterness from it, but again, not getting too much tropical fruits and nectarines. An all-right NEIPA with mostly citruses, and the Nectaron hops seem to be hiding.

Hazy yellow with a creamy, white head. Lime and grapefruit aroma. Taste is bitter and citric with a mild tartness at the finish. Body to the light side of medium, moderate carbonation, mildly watery. Refreshing in a manner. Ok.

Les notes de Sauvignon se mêlent aux accents de banane, de mangue, d’épices et de noix de coco pour nous proposer un olfactif riche et complexe. Le liquide jaune et flou se couvre d’une mousse épaisse et rocailleuse qui se maintient très bien. L’entrée de bouche légèrement acidulée met bien en évidence le Nelson Sauvin. On y retrouve également des notes de banane, de poire, de noix de coco ainsi que de poivre qui accentue la finale. L’amertume est plutôt masquée et la fin de bouche ressemble plus à une NEIPA. L’effervescence est très active, ce qui réduit la corpulence et le velouté de la sensation buccale. Les saveurs de houblons Américains dominent largement les éléments de la levure Allemande. L’équilibre va définitivement vers le côté NEIPA et c’est dommage car le fruité des notes de banane aurait apporté une tout autre dimension. Mais néanmoins, elle demeure bien délicieuse. O:7.21 V:4.29 G:7.31 C:3.75 G:13.78 T:36.34 Bien appréciée !

Can that pours a dark brown colour with a little copper highlights, a fizzy beige head not lasting too long, nor leaving much lace. Roasted barley aromas with a touch of plums, raisins, molasses and chocolate. Lightly oily mouthfeel with a little dryness in the finish. Flavours of the cacao beans blending with the roasted malts and some apple notes. The alcohol is well-hidden for something that seems more like an Imperial Stout. A smooth Stout with a tad chocolate, but not overly sweet. Nor a dessert one.
