Lightly hazed, golden colour with a big frothy white cap, good stay and some foamy lacing. Citrus, grassy aromas with a touch of pineapple to blend some sweetness. The pineapple really comes out in the taste with a punch of fruitiness. Hints of tropical fruits to balance things. Some herbal notes lingers. Also, some mint, apricot and building bitterness. A good Double NEIPA with lots going on, but working together.

Fairly clean, with very tiny transparent particles, slightly hazing. Amber with golden highlights, a big head, light-beige, bubbly, foamy, frothy with very good retention and foam lacing. Toasty malt nose with caramel ones, dark fruits and a herbal touch. The mouthfeel is quite dry in the finish, very bitter end. The hoppiness takes over the flavours of malt and fruitiness. This cuts the richness, sweetness of the style. A very, very hoppy Barleywine that lingers tart, bitterness, wood and grass.

Les houblons floraux dominent l’olfactif tout en s’accompagnant d’agrumes aux allures de pamplemousse, de douces céréales fraiches ainsi que de subtiles houblons herbeux issus d’un dry-hop bien assumé. Mousse épaisse, rocailleuse et persistante. Liquide doré parfaitement limpide. Les céréales fraiches s’imposent à l’entrée de bouche tout en s’accompagnant de notes herbacées bien verdâtres issues d’un dry-hop assumé qui donne une tout autre dimension à cette pilsner. Des notes florales sont également présentes mais c’est son coté herbeux et non pas herbacé qui est en évidence avec un léger coté céréalier cru ou brut. La finale, moyennement amère, laisse trainer ce coté vert pendant plusieurs secondes. Le corps est moyennement ample et la texture veloutée à souhait. Le coté céréalier aurait pu être plus développé mais cet opus demeure des plus agréables et rafraichissant. O:7.08 V:4.5 G:7.02 C:3.95 G:15.5 T:38.05
