On tap au mondiale 2011. Great resinous piney hop aroma, with a touch of grassy malt. Regular mouthfeel, if anything a touch thin for a dipa. Great bitterness, and hoppy citrus finish with a touch of soapiness from the high alpha hops. Nice beer.

Provenant du cask au Broue Pub. Cette double IPA est d’un ambré foncé. Un simple anneau tourne autour de cette bière. Le nez est surprenant avec des notes de fruits, de sucre d’orge, de caramel mais pour une double IPA on cherche les odeurs caractéristiques des houblons. En bouche la bière est marqué par le malt non pas par les houblons, malgré une petite touche amère agréable. Double IPA bien ordinaire malgré une certaine facilité à boire.

Un mince anneau de mousse flotte sur un liquide ambré. Au nez, le caramel est abondant et partage ses aspirations avec un sucre d’orge qui dégouline de petits fruits rouges. Les houblons respirent les herbes et perdent quelques émanations résineuses. Le goût est bien malté, laissant peu de place aux saveurs houblonnées et à leur caractère amérisant. Quelques pointes florales se concrétisent sur les papilles. En bouche, le liquide est moyennement rond avec une effervescence modérément active et une texture collante. En finale, les notes amères, qui sont très peu intenses et assez courtes, sont traversées par des notes douces tonitruantes. Très facile à boire, très appréciable mais trop peu mordante.

Solid aroma of sandy, resinous hops (Simcoe?), the hops feel really fresh. Pours an amber color with a medium white head. Very good flavor of sandy, resinous hops that feel very fresh and floral too, there’s bitterness in the end. The body is light to medium with a creamy texture and moderate carbonation. Very good.

On tap at the brewpub, amber-orange color, with a thin white head, yeasty, fruity nose of peach, apricot, orange, tangerine peel esters, with some hints of floral, herbal dill leaf, and some hop, leafy piney accents and some faint toasted, biscuity malt aromas follow through on a medium-bodied palate with a yeasty, fruity, apricot, zesty, herbal, flowery hop resiny, piney character, with a spritzy, minty leafiness, pine bark accent, leading towards a warming, fruity, peachy, apricot, zesty lemony, hop piney, leafy bitterness finish.

Clear saturated blonde with a nice whitish head. Loads of herbal hops surges from the glass. Meedium body, very oily, nice bitterness and floral hops flavors. Quite easy drinking double IPA. Altough it says belgian style 2IPA, the yeasty flavors are almost absent, if not for a little bubble gum flavor coming trough in mid palate. Quite nice...

Cloudy orange-copper in colour with a thin white head, good lacing. Aroma is very hoppy, caramel malt sweetness, moderate orange citrus. Flavour is again quite hoppy, orange and grapefruit citrus, quite sweet as well with lots of caramel. Some alcohol in the mouthfeel, medium body, moderate carbonation. Finishes hoppy, long and sweet.


A very drinkable IIPA, good balance as well. I liked this quite a bit.


Draught at Mondial 2009 in Montreal, Quebec.

Sampled on June 5, 2009.

On tap at Brouhaha. The color is ruby with an off white head. The aroma is of hops but not that strong. The taste is also hops and also molasse, with added fruits. As for being a double I.P.A. something is missing not enough bitterness for my taste.

Draught. At Mondial 2009 - day 1. Hazy amber with a solid creamy/frothy beige head. Bitter aroma of resin and tangerine zest, leafy with a very sweet malt underpinning. The taste is dryer than the aroma, the leafiness of the hops comes through more - it’s very bitter, right on the edge of harshness. Average body, somewhat carbonized mouthfeel, but a commendably long drawn-out bitter finish: solid, ultimately the harshness faded, I was left with a "well done" and "balanced" thought/note.

A reddish amber ale with a thin off white head. A light restrained c-hops aroma, fruity esters. In mouth, a smooth ale with silky hops, all restrained and enjoyable, with biscuitty malts melding well with the hops. On tap at Brouhaha, June 2009.
