Simcoe, Citra et Cascade sur une base de malt légère qui s'efface. D'abord du pin et de la résine, puis du pamplemousse, du citron et des notes plus douces de melon miel et de cantaloup — de la menthe et du basilic en arrière-plan. Légèrement sucré, franchement amer, vif et sec.
Voilà ce qu'une IPA de la côte Ouest devrait être !
The hop combo hits exactly as promised—that pine and resin bite up front gives way to a grapefruit tang, with the melon sweetness just peeking through on the finish. The mint and basil are a ghost of a thing, but it makes the whole can feel surprisingly refreshing for a summer sipper.
The pine and resin hit first, but that honeydew and cantaloupe finish is what keeps me coming back for another sip. It's light enough to crush on a hot afternoon, yet the mint and basil ghosting through makes it feel more interesting than your average summer ale.
Opened one after mowing the lawn and that pine-and-resin hit up front is exactly what I needed. The grapefruit comes through clean on the finish, and the melon note lingers just enough to keep things interesting.
