Nice citrusy and piney aroma, some grass. Murky golden, minmal head.
Somewhat bitter with nto much malt sweetness. Thin body, well carbonated with a bitter finish. Focus is totally toward the hops and i like that in an IPA.
So many different hops used in this beer that it is impossible to point one out.
thumbs up from me!

In short: An amber IPA with very sharp and bitter citrusy/lemony/piney/tropical hops. For hops lovers
How: Tap at brewpub
The look: Cloudy amber-orange body topped by a small white head
In long: Nose is bursting with oranges, tropical fruits and some pine-tree. This hoppy nose is very bright. Taste is equally bright and sharp, a slightly toasted biscuity malt backbone with a lot of citrusy hops, orange peels, citric lemons, tropical fruits, pine-tree. This is a merciless assertive hopping, a beer for hopheads only. After-taste has some residual sugars I could have done without and makes me take a few points away. A very good hop-fix. Drank quite a few pints that night at Cheval Blanc again, and when I’m known I’m getting too drunk I try saying "no" to alcohol, but that doesn’t help at all because beer doesn’t have ears and also I keep saying “bring me another one” to the barman.

L’escapade du dimanche : Un liquide à la robe dorée et passablement embrouillée. Une tête qui s’efface rapidement. Une dentelle éparse. Un nez de malt sucré et de fruits tropicaux. Un parfum d’ananas et de fruits de la passion. Des saveurs vigoureuses. Des houblons jeunes, dans la force de l’âge. Une charge florale aromatique et amère. Un souffle timide des malts. Une bouche de moyenne densité avec un bon pétillement et une texture crémeuse. Une finale houblonnée et amère, un bouquet persistant.
