4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20Strong aroma has a woody - and decidedly rye - overtone, along with malty and subtle fruity notes. It comes out of the bottle a dark, somewhat hazy amber with a very thick and rather persistent pale wheat head. Scrumptious flavor has a malty core and a strong woody rye overtone, plus more than a hint of fruit, equally apple and orange with a touch of banana; and a hoppy undertone. Texture has firm, smooth body and plenty of sass and fizz. Let this goose juice you!

Pours a lightly hazy golden amber with a large foamy off white lacing head. Aroma of mixed citrus, floral notes, lightly toasted bready malt with a hint of rye. Flavor of some caramel, toasted rye and bready malt. Hops are there but would like them a bit more up front.

Pours a translucent copper brown with fluffy tan head that dissipated to leave nice lacing. Aroma slight of west coast hops and hint of rye spiciness. Taste is bitter, garlic like hops, floral and earthy in the middle, solid IPA finish. Definitely very nice and drinkable, solid IPA.

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.

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

Sample @ CBC. Pors red to orange. Hazy. Notes of toasted pineapple and citrus in aroma. The rye makes the hops taste less agressive and adds a smoothening feel.
