Alchimiste IPA, got it in a 12 mix pack for 17,99$

Look: Hazy amber colour, about haft finger of white head. Lot's of lacing. Very nice looking beer

Smell: Pine, grapefruit, herbal and floral notes.

Taste: Malt, bitter pine, herbal and floral notes is there a bit of grapefruit with that bitterness. Right away you have that bitterness present its more on the forefront.

Feel: Light to medium body, light carbonation, easy drinking tho in the beginning but then that bitterness is starting to accumulate until you have like a disturb face.

So overall would I recommend it ? Im not recommend it, Im saying more give it a try.

Would I buy it again ? No, Im really strict on my IPA and a 3,25 do not make the cut.

This one pours a light amber color, with a small head and lots of lacing.

This smells slightly citrusy and mostly bitter pine and tea hops. There’s also a strong biscuity aroma as well.

This is a fairly prototypical English IPA, but that’s never gonna be a style that exactly moves me. It’s quite malty, but with a gripping bitterness and a very light citrusy fruitiness.

This is light bodied, crisp and very clean, with a good level of carbonation.

This is pretty standard but I enjoyed it.

A pretty good IPA. Didn't blow my mind but certainly worth drinking. I wish it had more citrus notes. It's also a bit heavy for an IPA. This was the second best beer I tried from the 4-variety pack I had from this brewery.

Pours a clear tawny body with pearly white, well-retained head. The scent is largely floral with some bitter and citrus hops coming through on the nose with decent maltiness. The taste brings up strong bitterness and some citrus rind, with additional floral notes coming through. The feel is overall quite smooth to boot. Overall a nice E-IPA, very good.
