Excepcional IPA americana degustada na reunião da Confrabacon em Ribeirão Preto, floral maravilhoso, amargor bem inserido, nada extremo, divina.

Pours ruddy orange with a quickly receding head. Nice citrus and pine on the nose. Hoppy citrus and pine taste. Smooth and easy drinking. Good stuff.

Clear rusty Orangeville. Head that has lasted far longer than most. Grassy herby nose. Very balanced pale ale. Not too harsh. A bit sweet. Low carbonation. I’m getting pale aled out here. This is similar to the immortal that I just tried I think I liked that beer.

Copper color with a nice body. Very hoppy, great carbonation for an IPA. Slightly bitter but refreshing aftertaste.

This is a really great IPA and I have tried a lot of ipa’s lately, I really like this one and here’s why. It pours a beautiful glowing, amber color with a copper/orangey hue. Hazy with 3 fingers of bone white head that fell slowly to a thick collar and cap with a nice skin on top. Lots of effervescence. Just beautiful. Nose is sparkling with floral hops, grapefruit, some tropical, lots of citrus. lemon and lime. A really deep malt spine. Caramel, toffee and bread. No alcohol on the nose. A graceful light pine and I do smell a little yeast. Taste is excellent. Fruity hops, orange, delightful bitter, juicy tropical fruits, good bread and caramel. Simple and delicious. Drinks so easy, you definitely want more than one. Finishes with a light coating of resin and oil for a piney aftertaste with a little bread and sweetness. This was a truly great IPA that had enough hop bitter to tempt you into each sip but not enough to sting you for it. I really liked this.

Bouteille 12oz. De couleur ambrée et claire. Nez de houblon citrique, fruité (agrumes, léger d’abricots), moyennement résineux et herbeux, léger de caramel très doux avec des traces de pain. Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen ainsi qu’une texture léger-moyen résineuse. Goût amer de houblon citrique, fruité (agrumes sucrées, léger d’abricots), légèrement résineux et aux notes herbeuses (une amertume présente toute la gorgée) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un léger goût de caramel très doux avec des petites notes de pain et de grains rôtis puis en finale l’amertume de houblon se fait plus résineuse, moyennement asséchante et plus herbeuse. Post-goût long et légèrement sec, plutôt amer de houblon résineux, citrique, légèrement herbeux fruité (zeste d’agrumes).

Hazy amber red colored beer with a white head and strong hoppy grapefruit nose. Hoppy bitter grapefruit but also some caramel notes too. Already some slight oxydation? Well bodied and dry bitter aftertaste with some alcohol warming in the back.

Heavy pine tones with massive citrus burst and plenty of caramel, rather syrupy. Very bitter indeed. I think my bottle had passed its best. Good beer.

Fresh hops and strong citrus mostly grapefruit. Light foamy head nice Orange medium reddish body. Refreshing hoppy dry citrus fruit tastes kinda earthy in the finish. Crisp, clean, dry.

12oz bottle. Pours a slightly hazy copper/amber color with a fluffy off white head. Aroma of strong grapefruit, floral and piney hops, citrus (lemon and orange zest), and some malt sweetness. Taste is really bitter up front (mainly grapefruit), some caramel malt to balance, and finishes piney/resinous.
