On tap at the Brouhaha, dark amber-orangeish hue, with a creamy beige head, yeasty, fruity, floral hop nose, with a mild piney, cedary, resiny accent, within a malt toastiness aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a yeasty, resiny, flowery hop character, with some nice piney, cedary, coniferous notes, and a leafy fruity, zesty, lime, citrusy accent, within a faint toastiness, leading towards an intense leafy hop bitterness finish.

Sampled &#64; le Festival Bieres et saveurs <br /><br /> <b><u>App.:</b></u> Light brown, cloudy, foamy beige head, good lacing <br /><br /> <b><u>Aromas:</b></u> Zesty, citrus, pine, caramel <br /><br /> <b><u>Palate:</b></u> Extremely well hopped, great bitterness, creamy medium / full body, long lasting aftertaste <br /><br /> <b><u>Flavors:</b></u> Hops, Hops, and HOPS, grassy notes, earthy, honey, caramel malts <br /><br /> <b><u>Notes:</b></u> 1st beer sampled at the festival... what a great start&#033;

<i>My Bottom Line:</i><br /> The revealing finish of this pillowy American-style IPA lathers the tongue with peppery, herbal, resinous hoppiness well after the gentle cereal sweetness is introduced. It may not be a balanced brew, but man is it fun&#033;<br /> <br /> <i>Further Personal Perceptions:</i><br /> -A fine sheet of foam covers the hazy orange.<br /> -This is the version brewed with 100% Pacific Gem hops. Their bitterness is astoundingly expressive&#033;<br /> -The nose is mostly resinous.<br /> -The malts could be brighter or crisper, which would let the hops express themselves even more in the flavor profile.<br /> -This hop appears to affirm itself mostly in the finish, although it seems to have been used equally throughout the boil.<br /> -The body is chewy and round.<br /> <br /> <b>On tap at Festival Bières et Saveurs.</b>
