Bouteille 33cl, du x-mas pack, merci Anna et Carles. BB 05/11/2022.
Couleur ambre léger voile, col crémeux blanc cassé assez tenace.
Arôme me replonge de suite dans les grandes DIPA américaines - flash-back d'au moins 15ans - rappelant les gros DIPA de Stone et consorts. C'est malté avec une pointe fine d'épicé venant du seigle. Rétro est sur un houblonné offrant des effluves agrumes/pamplemousse et de pin avec un léger bouquet sirupeux qui arrive en rétro-nasal.

Palais est sur une base classique US - caramel pâle avec de suite un houblonné tout autant classique virant sur les C-Hops - ici, un Centennial (je suppose) qui apporte sa dose de dank et de pin/résineux. Léger boozy, amertume qui tranche bien avec une petite note d’agrumes/pamplemousse sur la fin tout en gardant le côté pin dominant. Note de booze sur la fin mais qui passe bien. Fini légèrement collant aux lèvres.
