JUNE 2024. 44 cl can (7€). It's an India Pale Ale with a percentage of Pils malt, in addition to the English Golden Promise.
The mold is American with hopping reserved for Simcoe, Amarillo, Chinook, Columbus and Centennial.
It wants to be inspired by the old-style IPAs of Vermont.
It was produced with medium-saline water and a strain of Anglo-Saxon yeast considered useful for the purpose.
As soon as it's opened, it smells of summer fruit (especially plum pulp) and tropical fruit (mango, papaya). As soon as it's poured (two times + topping up) the more citrusy aromas also come out.
It has a golden color: hazy, but only slightly. Discrete foam but of poor consistency and therefore short-lived.
In the mouth, it's a medium-bodied beer (IPA), but with a sort of underlying softness that also leads to a slightly waxy aftertaste (but not crunchy, only with the function of softening/filtering almost...).
The prevailing taste is citrus, grapefruit, followed by flavors of summer and ripe fruit (peach, plum, apricot) with tropical reflections (papaya). But everything is very short.
The finish, despite this light silky sensation, is pleasantly bitter: pungent when barely felt, but (I suppose, voluntarily) not long-lasting.
Very balanced and certainly not similar to a modern Vermont IPA.
