As Champion Brasserie Belgian IPA, 7%. It pours hazy luminous yellow with a small white head. The aroma is fresh, sweet, apple, pear, melon, candied peel, sugary, green banana and light spice. The taste is crisp, dry, bitter, earthy, grainy, pithy, greengage, melon, plum, green, vegetable and straw with a drying finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Fair.

Pours a crystal clear amber from a can, minimal lacing. Big fruity aroma. Bitter and watery for a DIPA. Good beer.

Tap at champion. Pours pale golden. Aroma is sour - not specifically anything but you can get the sour notes immediately. Flavor is nice: white grape, light bubblegum, yeast, fruit. Quite tasty.

Month old can > tulip. A: Very clear pale gold pour with a short bubbly head that fell fast to a ring with busy bubbles. S: Faint smell of tart lemon/orange and some caramel sweetness. T: Bitter, tart and dry with pith, lemon flesh and light wood. Caramel not noticed. Simple flavors in good balance. M: Light and stiffly carbonated. Refreshing with dry effervescent finish. O: Pretty good despite some poor ratings, but not worth regular purchase @ $12/6.

Pour is a complete black with a large tan head. Aroma is a decent roast with some coffee and bitter bakers chocolate. Flavor is a more intense roast and char malt with a nice bitter bakers chocolate left on the tongue. Not the most ground breaking Impy stout but this has all the flavors you are looking for and then some.
