Garrigues La Frappadingue

Bottle from organic shop, 8.6 abv 60 ibu. Not bad for a french ipa but still not it

Lemon aroma from the bottle. In the glass aroma is sweeter and reminds of lychee. No head, murky water. Low carbonation. Feels like lower quality random Belgian ale. It’s got its organic labels and that is pretty much the only good thing about this beer.

Pine, pine and more pine. Quite nauseating. No IPA characteristics whatsoever.

Murky light orange colour. Moderately-sized head. Malty and grassy aroma. Fresh and fruity taste.

A big memory A long evening to drink this 8,5° ipa very intense one of the best in this brewery

Draught at Taphouse. Hazy amber colored with a medium sized white head. Fruity aroma of flowers, candies, hops and pine needles. Fruity aroma of hops, caramel and flowers with notes of grass. Hoppy finish.

From tap at Taphouse. Hazy amber colour with an off-white head. Aroma and flavour of malt, hops, fruit, peach and bitterness.

UPDATED: JUL 16, 2016 [email protected] Pours hazy orange with white head. Aroma is light malty and fruity with a grassy, citrussy hoppiness. Taste is light malty and semi-sweet with fruity, grassy and citrus hops, and ends in a dry bitterness.

Bottle, 33cL. Home. A pale orange to yellow opaque beer ; few bubbles ; medium white head ; medium retention. Citrus (+), resin, herb, tropical fruits. Light to medium sweet, medium dry bitter lightly refreshing ; light warming background. Full body, thin texture, average to soft carbonation, fruity bitter warming finish. Overall, a good fruity pale ale ; nice body.

Belle mousse, beau corps, maltage généreux mais maîtrisé, un beau travail sur les levures, une bonne aromatique, fine amertume... bref, une excellente maîtrise française du style IPA voire IMP IPA.
