From Untappd, but translated by Google--
La Garonnette is a Toulouse-based microbrewery founded in 2015 by two childhood friends, Benjamin and Jonathan.
•
Our IPA is a well-hopped beer. This gourmet English-style recipe subtly combines malty notes and fruity aromas.

While La Garonette calls themselves a micro-brasserie, UnTappd categorizes them as a nano and I think that's probably still true. But given a few more years and based on their beautiful but limited website, I think they could pass the threshold into micro-dom shortly. But add an English button to the site, particularly if you want to start imitating their styles.

I give La Garonnette good Overall Hugs for a nine year old started by two childhood friends who continue to lift the game of beer in wine country. I suggest that they emphasise brewing table beers.

As for their EIPA, it is close to style. While a nice foam and lace gets above average points, it does get more murky as I pour more. Smells are mostly fruity malt, but nothing distinct to me. Tastes are balanced well within the style. The hops linger well enough, but I don't get a clean linger. (Might be the water?) Almost medium-mouthed. I will try their Belgian styles before I drink this EIPA again.
