Le Titi Parisien
Brasserie La Parisienne

 

Look: hazy light amber with a thick fluffy white head

Aroma: pear, orange, grapefruit, yeast, pine resin

Flavor: The flavor is fruity, there's pear, orange, grapefruit, yeast, and a moderate piney bitterness at the end.

Body/Overall: medium body, I think it is a pretty good Belgian IPA.

330 ml bottle, batch #130, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 5.5%. Slightly hazy orange colour, huge white head takes a long time to settle. Aroma of piney hops and orange marmalade, some yeasty notes. Refreshing flavour, with piney, orangey, grapefruity and malty notes.

Poured from a 330ml bottle and draft at Mulberry St bar in Paris France. The draft was much better and is why my rating is higher.
This IPA is right from the West Coast (California style)

 

 

 

Picked this up at a "beers of the world" store in Saint-Germain en laye (So Biere).

The beer pours a light copper orange color with great head retention and decent lacing. The aroma is fairly simple, but pleasant enough. I pick up noticeable citrus, celery root and sweet malt. The flavor profile replicates the nose pretty closely, though the sweet malt is a bit much. To no great surprise I suppose, the flavor profile gives one the impression this beer might have been sitting around on the shelf for a while. Still, it's not awful, and there's some decent bitterness in the finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied I guess, and alcohol is well integrated into the flavor profile. Drinkability is OK. Wouldn't want to pound down a lot of these, even if the beer didn't sell for around $4.25 a bottle.

Nothing special or unusual here, but this is still enjoyable. A decent IPA for uncritical, thoughtless quaffing.

 

Had from a 330ml bottle into a pint glass while enjoying a burger in Paris. Beer poured a pale off yellow color with a thin film of head. For an IPA there was a lack of citrus or hops notes, and was 1 dimensional. Overall beer was good, just might not call it an IPA
