2.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20 MartinT (8661) - Montreal, Quebec, CANADA - JUN 4, 2007
My Bottom Line:
Fiery hops spurt earthy and resinous flames to attempt to blind the tastebuds from an intrinsic diacetyl mess. The round biscuity caramel maltiness and potent hop flavors and bitterness of this Double IPA just could not overcome this rampant butter bomb.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A veil of foam tops the misty orange.
-Prickly carbonation enlightens the heavy body.
-Hop bitterness is resinous and peppery.
-The body is portly and chewy. The beers best feature for me that day.
-Alcohol is well hidden within the hoppy fireworks.
On tap at the Mondial de la Bière.

3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 Mart (211) - Montréal, Quebec, CANADA - MAY 24, 2007
Couleur rouge-ambrée, claire, mince mousse avec lacet traçant bien le verre. Arôme très présent de fruits, houblons floraux agrumés, légèrement caramel. Goût damertume très franche, fruité, légèrement caramel. Équilibre parfait du fruité, et de lamertume, cest excellent ! Alcool bien camouflé, jai demandé à la serveuse, à la moitié de ma pinte, à combien elle titrait, pour mapercevoir que cétais environ 9% ! Finale en longue amertume. Corps faible à moyen, effervescence faible. Très très bon !
