Bottle shared. Clear mahogany. Sour rye, safron indeed, dry whisky, earthy. Very very earthy. Soft sour berries, medicinal oak, vanilla, red currants, band aids. Under medium sour and sweet. Over medium bodied with boozy finish. Quite a mess.

Bottle. Color: Very hazy dark orange, white head. Oxydated? Aroma: Orange, some tropical fruit. Taste: Orange, tropical fruit notes, hoppy notes, malty and bit grainy base. So far sounds better than it is, unfortunately. Also notes of wet leaves, wet paper, cardboard. Light to moderate sweet and bitter. Medium body, just below average carbonation. No need to try again...

Bottle. Very dark brown with big tan head. Lots of roasted malts, coffee, dry cocoa beans, licorice, vanilla, earthy dead leaves, soft wine, honey, caramel, plums, marshmallows. Just medium sweet, light bitter. Medium bodied. This is really quite nice, quite light for a RIS, and not too heavy on the barrel but great balance and nice roasted notes. Nice surprise!

Bière rapportée d'un voyage dans les Vosges. Robe pâle, légèrement trouble. Mousse légère, persistante en surface. Nez frais, dominé par des notes d'agrumes, principalement citron et pamplemousse. Attaque douce en bouche, l'IPA est simple mais bien équilibrée. Amertume modérée, juste ce qu'il faut pour une bonne fraîcheur. Parfaite pour une consommation quotidienne, sans prétention mais agréable.
