3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Usually these triple hopped beer go fulle bonanza on the hoppy bitter. This one seem to balance it out a bit better using sweetness. It gives it a full flavor experience. Nice full bodied hop beer. Still not a overly big fan of the genre though. The head is thick and fluffy and makes it look very inviting.

Pale blond, big lumpy head. Aroma of fresh, pale malt. Flavour also has light malts. It’s hoppy with sharp fruitiness. Light body but a fresh feel.

bouteille 33cl, bottled 30-03-2012
Dorée-orangée donnant un trouble vers la mi-bouteille, col blanc épais.
Arôme est houblonné fleuri suivi par un bouquet agréable donné ici par la levure. Le tout reste assez neutre dans l’usage du houblon et un léger parfum de foin.
Palais est houblonné typique, sec, grains et terreux.
Fin de bouche laisse apparaître une certaine note levure. Le tout couplé par un houblonné fleuri voire citronné rappelant un houblonnage à cru. Une note épicée se distingue en fin de bouche provenant probablement de la levure et grains.

330ml bottle. Hazy golden colour with average, frothy to creamy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Hoppy aroma has a herbal touch, cautious hints of grapefruit, tangerine, also a touch of garlic. Taste is minimally bitter herbal hoppy, minimally citrusy, the strange garlic note is present again - I’m note sure if this is intended.
