Hors Série IPA Simcoe-Amarillo
Les Trois Mousquetaires

Bottle: Poured a clear bright yellow color ale with a large pure white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of hoppy citrusy notes with some faint residual sugar notes is pleasant. Taste is dominated by hoppy floral notes of citrus with faint residual sugar notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Not bad but hops notes could have been more pronounced.

A:
Pours a clear pale gold with a billowing white head that sticks around very well, leaving sheets of lacing (4.5)

S:
Orange blossom, pine, lemon zest, forest floor, sappy. (4.25)

T:
Rich but light malt body holding up grapefruit oil, pine resin, floral notes and a hint of alcohol/hop sharpness. (4)

M:
Drinkable, active carbonation, linger hop oil finish, some solventy alcohol. (4)

O:
Wowee! This is a nicely put together beer that checks a lot of my classic IPA boxes.
Pours nice and clear with a massive head. Creamy, nice carbonation, very inviting. The aroma also pulls you in. Citrus and forest essences and not much else. The flavor is big on piney, grapefruity resinousness on a pillow of light, subtle malt. It is very drinkable and pretty clean, there is a little apparent alcohol that takes away slightly from the taste and feel in my mind. Nonetheless, it is very nice overall. I should have grabbed more than one bottle. Oh well. Very nice, I will definitely grab this one on sight in the future. (4.25)
