Huge, dense & fine yellowish head, very stable; pale orange-ochre beer. Beautiful grapey C-hops nose, bit of glue and citrus. I love Nelson Sauvin... Outspoken dry hop flavours and some good, faintly caramelly pale malts; summer grain. Hops are a bit raw - mixed with EU hops or Magnum, maybe. Refreshing; medium bodied; not spritzy yet well-carbonated. A very good interpretation of IPA, local variety. Many thanks so Stef and the man himself!

Taste this first tima @ home (thx to William for the bottle). Hazy orange color, with a off-white head. Aroma malts, caramel touch. Medium body. Taste very nice bitterness, hoppy. Bitter, malts and dry end. Really good !

UPDATED: MAY 3, 2011 Had it @ the micro brewery "den triest" with marc himself. Nice top fermented beer. It’s like a triple, malty, fruity and high in alcohol. A good beer from a smal brewer!
