Cette Australian IPA m'a relativement bluffé. Avec un alcool plutôt faible à 5,8 % Abv, elle sait développer et soutenir une complexité aromatique assez exceptionnel et non atteint pour nombre d'IPA voire d'Imperial IPA. Du très beau travail qui de surcroît est très plaisant. En verre, nous sommes sur de l'abricot foncé (EBC aux environs de 23). Peu de mousse cependant, celle-ci ne recouvrant pas la surface. Au nez, les arômes sont riches et pleins et nous retrouvons dans l'ordre, fruits exotiques, mangue, résineux et miel. L'attaque est sur un bel équilibre malt/houblon où l'on retrouve les arômes d'agrumes, de mangue, de miel et de résineux. La deuxième bouche se porte davantage sur l'amertume, moins portée sur le résineux, elle laisse s'exprimer davantage les agrumes avec des arômes de bergamote. L'arrière bouche quant à elle sur le résineux et les agrumes, est légèrement liquoreuse, conférant beaucoup de profondeur. La mangue et les fruits exotiques réapparaissent alors en troisième bouche avant un superbe final, élancé, avec une amertume saillante et herbacée accompagnée d’arômes de résineux, d'agrumes et de fruits exotiques. A part le sucre un tantinet trop présent, tout est juste dans cette IPA avec un alcool magistralement utilisé et un IBU à 58 très bien dosé. Chapeau bas.

Pours gold with a large head.Nose shows passionfruit, lychee, pear as well as spicy hops notes. Some light honey and biscuity malt.Flavours are very similar but with more of a focus on floral rather than fruity hops.

Very pale ornage with a modest white head.Aroma of gooseberry, lime, passionfruit, paw-paw, crackers. Very light bodied but just shy of watery. Carbonation seems a little on the low side for something like this. Somehow there’s enough crackery malt to make it work, but it’s still mainly about the hops. And because the whole thing’s so light they don’t have to be brash to be prominent or for the modest bitterness to register. It’s well done but a bit tentative for me.

Bottle bought online from Saveur Biere. Pours a hazy golden brown with a quite firm and lasting off white head, leaving good lacing. Delicious fresh, hoppy aroma with notes of caramel, light malt and vanilla. Sweetness is light/medium, with medium to heavy bitterness. Medium body, texture creamy/oily, average carbonation. Long bitter finish, slight sherbet mouthfeel feel, with a light but lasting sensation of chocolate. A very very good IPA.
