330 ml. bottle @ home. Purchased @ De Hopduvel. Bottled on 09.12.2015. Hazy golden, nicely lacing, collapsing uneven soapy white head. Nose is grapefruit peel, lemon & floral hops mixed with some Belgian character, light dough, touch soap and some esters. Very easy to drink. Lightly soapy, floral bitter with distinct grapefruit peel & juice nose plus esters, BE-like yeast, esters, sparkling, grass-bitter faintly medicinal bitter,… Very easy to drink. Dash milky & quite dry body. Far too Belgian to call an IPA in my opinion. That aside, this is a very interesting hoppier & more bitter than average Belgian. Clean, very Belgian but with bitterness plus grapefruit notes. Nice.

33cl bottle split with Omgrich, courtesy of the brewer at Struise Schooltje. De couleur dorée paille, col fin blanc. Arôme est agréablement bien fruité presque sur une pinte d’exotisme le tout gardant un bouquet typiquement belge. Palais est ici à l’avantage des houblons qui offrent une composante fruitée généreuse et aromatique de l’Amarillo avec des notes fruitées et fleuries et un léger ajout pamplemousse typique de Cascade. Cependant, la base maltée, ici clairement du pilsner cara, montre un caractère très belge et on peut se demander si l’usage d’un malt autre que belge aurait pu amener cette bière vers un palier plus américain dans son approche? Fini est sec avec un houblonnage persistant. Une IPA qui sort du lot, et surtout qui se vaut car il semble que nombre de brasseurs belges pensent qu’ajouter un houblon à une base noble fait d’une bière une IPA. On y remarque surtout la qualité de Proef pour la brassage d’IPA - brasserie qui ne cesse de tester les houblons. Il faut au final faire abstraction d’une base comparative américaine pour voir l’IPA belge fait au pays, et cette bière Arogante, sans faire le pied de nez à son Arrogant cousin de Californie, ravira l’amateur d’une IPA bien maitrisée.
