4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pour mon 500ème Rating j’ai décidé d’évaluer une bière qui n’est pas disponible au Québec. Nos yeux observent une bière de couleur orangée surmontée d’un col de mousse durable. Au nez ce sont des effluves de caramel et de conifères qui se font sentir. En bouche le corps est moyen avec une effervescence crémeuse. On goûte un parfait équilibre entre le malt caramel, le houblon et l’amertume. On dénote aussi une subtile présence fruitée. Excellent !

Hazy orangey yellow with quite creamy pale head. Nice lacing. Nose is sweet tropical fruits, strawberries and flowery hops. Flavor well hopped with beautiful fruity tones and very balanced bitterness. Finishes bitter and flowery. Mouthfeel almost sorbet like, medium to full bodied and smooth as hell. A great IPA in my book.

Pours a lighter amber colour with a small off-white head, fairly clear. The aroma has a light citrus sweetness to it and some malts, but most present is the strong hop aroma, quite enjoyable. The taste is mostly bitter but not as strong as a maybe I was expecting, still nice though. Medium body, smooth mouth feel and average carbonation. This is overall a great beer, not outstanding, but a good bitter brew.

Pours a rich amber with a thin white head. Aroma is sufficiently hoppy and very earthy, but offers a hint of unexpected citrusy sweetness. Malt taste is dry and hay-like just like I like it. Hops are the dominant taste in this beer, as they should be, and offer a sustained, citrusy bitter aftertaste. Wood flavor sustains from aroma through aftertaste. A great beer to rate for my first rating on here.

22 ounce bottle. Amber color with thin tan head. Lacking the aroma I was expecting, but the taste made up for it. Nice bitterness with a slight citrus taste and warm finish.
