Appearance - This beer pours a cloudy golden color with 2 fingers of foamy head, The head rentention is really good and carbonation seems strong.
Aroma - This beer smells of citrus hops and grassy hops there is also a decent aroma of Caramel malt.
Taste - the flavor is almost all Grassy hop with light grapefruit underneath. I can see how someone could find it skunky however to me it just tastes like a bitter grass. There is also some caramel malt flavor underneath the hops.
Feel - Medium bodied Creamy carbonation bitter and dry on the finish.
Overall - This beer is more of an APA to me and to be honest Brasseurs du monde doesn't call it an IPA. I think placing it in the IPA category here was a mistake. As an apa this is an average offering, not good not bad. I wont be buying it again. Cheers!

Good looking beer with a moderate amount of head and a cloudy orange look.
Mild hop aroma with an assertive level of bitterness, and a light to moderate level of malt.
Overall: This beer was out of balance to me, with far too much bitterness, not enough malt to balance it out, and little to no perceptible hop aroma, especially considering the beer type. Better options out there.

Nice carbonation with a big foamy head with big bubbles. Intense tropical smells, pretty good. It somehow smells like weed... The image is pretty accurate, it feels like you get an hop grenade. Not really well rounded though, with a better malt presence I think this would be easier to drink. Great IPA nonetheless will probably have it again.

L: A light orange color. Large bubbled head that stayed around forever. Lacing was pretty good too. Visible sedimentation; particulate matter.
S: Flowery, Soapy, slight citrusy. Fairly pungent.
T: Honestly, it tastes like soap in beer form. A little bit of caramel sweetness comes through, but it's pretty slight. Floral. It's hoppy, don't get me wrong, it's just not a pleasing kind of hoppy. I've had home-brews like this, I'm still trying to understand why this overdone floral flavor comes along, too old perhaps ?
F: A bit too carbonated for my liking. Body is slightly thin.
O: I think it was just too old. When fresh I believe this beer could be great, I think I just got a hold of an old shelf turd. Most other beers these guys put out is great.
