On tap... Cloudy amber poor with foamy off-whit head. Aromas of pine, wheat, tea... very hoppy aromas... Full bodied, nicely sweetened and nicely bitter... Amazing balance... Long lasting dry somewhat oily aftertaste. Added lightly fruity notes and a nice creamy maltiness to it. Very good!

Tap at brewpub. Tropical fruit and resinous hoppiness, as I prefer those DIPA hopbombs; probably amarillo... A slightly sweet malty body balances everything out pretty well. Very good, one of the good DIPA offered in Québec’s imaginary country; comparable to Bells Hopslam.

2011 version. Pale golden pour. Fresh zesty hop nose. Fresh orange peel, grapefruit and pine. Sticky and resinous with a light pale malt aroma on the back along with some stone fruit flavour. Fairly tropical but it has a soft palate. Sticky hop resin helps cut some of the sweetness. The hops are intense but the bitterness is restrained. Delicious.

Draught. Mondiale 2009 - day 2 - at Benelux brewpub. Hazy deep amber with a large creamy-fluffy off-white head. Dry, pungent grapefruit pith and cat pee (in the good way) aroma - a solid citrus/citrus zest zing underpinning it, just enough light grain to provide some balance. The taste follows, just as solidly hoppy as the nose promised, but with more malt character, better balance in the flavour than in the aroma - super, actually, I toyed with going 9/10 on this one. Quite a thick body to it, with acidity from the hops and a sticky malt mouthfeel - pretty long-finishing too, and it didn’t taste close to 9% - lovely: thick and catty, I could drink it for days.

UPDATED: JUN 8, 2010 2009 anniversary Imperial IPA. Pours a clear copper color with a thin off white head. Appealing aroma of resinous, fruity hops and toasted malt. Very good flavor of resinous, fruity hops and toasted malt with bitterness in the end. This imperial IPA is very good and quite well-balanced.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at benelux. Pours a slight haze with a nice head- and good lace. Aroma is very fruity hops, tropical, mango, resin and citrus with a big tacky sticky caramel malt backbone. Flavor is just as tacky resinous mango tropical fruit- floral and crazy- straight up this is pretty good DIPA. Typical east coast style- not bad at all.
