PowY (4562) - Vienna, AUSTRIA - APR 28, 2019UPDATED: APR 28, 2019 From tap at Solothurner Biertage 2019. Lightly hazy golden color with a white head. The aroma is hoppy and fruity with peach, some mango and some grapefruit. Medium to medium-full body with a light sweetness and a medium bitterness. The flavor is again hoppy with some malt in the back - mango, orange, fleshy grapefruit, biscuit and hints of honey. Not a typical NEIPA but more a juicy West Coast IPA. Good!

rand (3460) - SWITZERLAND - JAN 14, 2019UPDATED: JAN 14, 2019 Dorée trouble à pétillement actif et haute mousse envahissante. Arômes fruités de pêche, abricot, bergamotte-mandarine. Le goût est frais et gourmand, très fruité et enrobé de malt et caramel, alcool et avec un amer tempéré. Très parfumé et goûteux, bravo excepté la mousse.

Drinking_77 (346) - Basel, SWITZERLAND - AUG 14, 2018Review: 33cl Bottle of Celestial, Le Dernier Cri, a New England style IPA: 7.7% ABV
"The Last Cry" in English, this is Celestial's version of a New England IPA.
Very carbonated, jeez mad to come out of the bottle! A cloudy looking dark orange beer, with a very frothy head. Some lacing.
Malty and fruity smell, faint though.
Smooth creamy mouthfuls, goes down easy enough.
Not meant to be too hoppy, but I certainly got the hoppy taste, but not that bitter and very manageable.
Nice malty flavour, the fruits to the fore, bit of caramel.
I know that there is some who dont think New England IPA is a style in its own right. I am not so sure, but this beer here just seems like a regular IPA to me, albeit toned down a bit and more cloudy in appearance and feel. I am not getting that distinct style though.
A safe brew that's not going to set the world alight, but this beer is not bad, is drinkable, and did the business.
