Une large tête est solidement plantée sur un liquide orangé. Une belle dentelle s’enroule autour du verre. Au nez, je note une présence indéniable de notes vertes et florales. Des fruits poussent à travers cette fraîcheur mais je ne peux les identifier formellement. La base maltée me semble être assez riche. Je sens du sucre caramélisé mais aussi le parfum habituellement épicé du seigle. Dans la deuxième moitié de la dégustation, je note dans mon calepin cette série de mots : nez de la Nouvelle-Zélande. Sur les papilles, la base maltée est frappante mais aussi frappée par une certaine fraîcheur mentholée. Serait-ce le résultat d’un effet floral combiné avec cette sensation épicée? M’enfin, à travers cette unique représentation, quelques fruits tropicaux qui finissent par me rouler sur la langue. En bouche, le liquide respecte la pesée imposée par le style. Dans cette texture rendue huileuse, des bulles qui bougent très bien. La finale est très amère et très intense. Je soupçonne une bouteille fraîche et j’en suis fort heureux. Tout compte fait, une bonne bière mordante. Ceci dit, une juxtaposition houblonnée et maltée qui manque, pour moi, de conviction.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 Hair6a11 (1156) - Illinois, USA - MAY 12, 2013
Bottle; Pour is slightly murky medium gold, with an initial two finger white head in this glass. This one pours quite nicely, with above average retention, and sticky lacing in this glass. The nose is spicy, sweet, with some tropicals and piney hops present here. The flavor profile is bitter initial, but just so, with sweet caramel, a spicing from the malt profile, more tropical sweetness, with a crisp finish. It’s another nice IPA from hoppin frog, but perhaps the rye note was an after thought here
