Bottle at home, 16th June 2013. Ok IPA, reminds me of a De Molen interpretation, certainly a French style IPA, prefer other offerings from France right now

Very nice refreshing beer. citrus, orange, hoppy aroma. lightly sour and medium bitterness, drinks away well. Very nice discovery. I thought France was all about Kronenbourg, but i’m getting a lot of ace beers lately from FR!

Superbe IPA !
Robe ambree avec un bequ col persistant. Aromes de fruits exotiques et notament la mangue qui ressort bien, des pointes de houblon floral viennent parfaire le tout. Tres bien equklibree, cette IPA reste en bouche un moment avec son amertume prononcee mais ses saveurs sucrees adoucissent l’ensemble pour un final parfait.
Une reference dans le genre

4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Double IPA like looks, with lasting off white head and light brown glowing body. Rich hop aroma, a well made mix of American hopped tropical fruits and darker forest like ones. Very pleasant caramel malt base underneath. Good mouth feel, not too thin and not too much carbonation. Strong bitterness at first, with only some darker fruit juiciness to balance. I don’t mind this though, as the taste is rich enough to justify that fierce bitterness. So not quite an American style, full ipa body but rather a strongly hopped hopped French interpretation. And that’s fine by me. Tasty. (33cl bottle from Bière Révolution)
