Keg at La Fine Mousse, Paris 22nd April 2013. This is a nice Beer, does not remind me of a Double IPA though, more a slightly hoppy, dry bitter beer, not enough floral hops and not enough mouth feel, overly carbonated, refreshing after a long walk around Paris

Bottle. Clear bronze with a medium that soon dissipated. Hoppy with a surprising amount of bitterness that took me by surprise. Plenty of body.
How the world has changed with the French producing this pretty good example of a double IPA. Long may it continue.

3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
75cl bottle. Hazy orange, light brown color, medium, white head. Nose : citrus , zest, crashed pepper, esters, hay and a bit ginger tart. Sip : creamy, medium thick, tingling carbonation, well preserved. Sweet spicy tart flavour soon covered with strong and still spicy hop bouquet. The bitterness is quite moderate for the style but it's imposing with complexity. Nice one. Easy to drink. Reminds a heavy hopped triple style brew. Something lighter and better balanced then Chouffe Double IPA triple.
