4.0 Bottle courtesy of Patrick, cheers. Pours hazy amber orange with a large off white head, leaving good lacing. Aroma of tropical fruit, citrus, hops, pine, malt, rye and caramel. Moderate sweetness and medium bitterness. Full bodied, oily to slick texture, soft carbonation. Finish is dry with lasting bitterness. Very good.

3.8 Bottle, 330 ml, courtesy of JFK10000. Pours clear dark orange, medium white head. Rye, hoppy, pine, caramel malty middle, quite bitter finish. Medium bodied.

4.1 15-09-2017; bottle; at home (bought at Saveur Bière, as part of their September discovery box). The looks of the beer are nice. The color of the beer is a nice golden yellow and it is crystal clear. On top of the beer a nice layer of slightly rough white foam is formed Foam retention is average. After some minutes only a very thin drape is left. A nice lacing is left on the edge of the glass. Nice. The smell of the beer is extreme. It smells just like pure hops. When I brew my own beer and I take a snif of the hops, it smells pretty much the same as this. This beer is really really hopped, they didn't hold back on hops for sure. The hop aromas are very spicy and herbal, with some fresh citrusy tones, and a hint of stone fruit. It is nice, I like it. Besides the extremely strong hops, there are some sweet hints of malts, but the hops are really really strong. I also smell an nice aroma of fresh fruits and some apples. Nice. Good and rich smell. The taste has the same extreme amount of hops. It is so hoppy, I gonna die. The hops are very spicy and herbal, and refreshingly citrusy sour. There aren't to bitter. The taste mainly consists of the flavours of the hops, not so much of the bitters. Nicely done. The citrusy, even slightly sweet, and delicately bitter hops are balanced by some sweet malts. Very nice. This makes that the beer is in quite good balance. Very good, especially since the amount of hop flavours is so high. Good job. Wow. The plate of the beer is nice. Medium body, slightly sticky texture and medium-high carbonation. The finish of the beer is, like the rest, very hoppy. Loads of spicy and herbal hops, but with some alcohol sweetness. All in all, a nice beer. Interesting how they have pumped so much hop in it, without misbalancing it. But, it needs to be said that I finished half the beer now (33 cl bottle), and at this point the extreme happiness is getting a bit strong. It is a great beer to share, since it is quite heavy. But, it is nice though, and what is a better use for beer than sharing it with someone.

3.3 At my home together with Yves hazy amber colored body with a white head and with a spicy fruity hop aroma a spicy fruity sweet hop bitter taste with a light alcholic bitter finish

3.3 Shared with wim at his home. Hazy amber colored beer with small white head and no carbonation. Malty hopped aroma. Full sparkling palate. Finish is dry bitter malty dry.

4.4 La spécificité de cette IPA n’est finalement pas l’ajout de seigle, qui n’est pas déterminant et qui n’apporte pas grand chose, mais davantage le duo alcool/sucre dont le titrage et le ressenti (l’alcool faisant légèrement plus que ses 8,5 % Abv) confère un petit côté liquoreux qui pourrait en déranger plus d’un. Je trouve même que cela apporte une certaine tension aux arômes que je trouve plutôt plaisant. En terme aromatique le trio Simcoe/Citra/Cascade joue bien son rôle. On retrouve donc logiquement des notes de pamplemousse (sur les 3 houblons) de fruits exotiques (Citra) et de résineux (Simcoe). Ce dernier est d’ailleurs également très prégnant, ce qui pourrait en déplaire à quelques uns, mais l’ensemble de ses arômes étant pleins et se complétant de bonne manière, cette Double Rye IPA est plutôt pour me plaire. En verre, rien d’extraordinaire cependant. Ambré parfaitement limpide (EBC de 20) mais sans mousse et avec une très faible effervescence. Le nez sur le pamplemousse, les fruits exotiques et le résineux est simple mais efficace. La côté liquoreux se fait déjà remarquer. Mais c’est à la dégustation que celui prend réelle signification. L’attaque présente une bonne tension sucre, alcool, amertume qui se répondent et se complètent sur une bonne intensité et des arômes de pamplemousse et de résineux. L’ensemble est rond malgré l’amertume bien présente qui se rehausse d’ailleurs en deuxième bouche pour prendre l’ascendant sur des arômes de pamplemousse et de résineux.qui se complètent par de la mangue. L’arrière bouche, quant à elle racée, est sur l’amertume (les 70 d’EBU étant bien présents) et le pamplemousse. C’est à la troisième bouche que les fruits exotiques se dévoilent avant un final sur un bon élancement et une longueur correcte où l’alcool se fait davantage ressentir (celui-ci faisant alors plus que ses 8,5 % Abv) en complément d’une bonne amertume accompagnées d’arômes de fruits exotiques, de pamplemousse et de fruits exotiques. En conclusion, cette Double Rye IPA ne laisse pas indifférente, pourra vous déplaire, mais moi, j’achète!

3.8 A hazy amber appearance topped with a small rocky diminishing off white head, aromas of toasted malts, grains and citrus, flavour of sweet caramel and a lingering bitter hop aftertaste, medium sticky body, I really enjoyed this ale.

2.9 Aroma: mainly caramel and some sweet fruits. Taste: A bit too much caramel but some subtle rye spiciness and pleasant hops.

Taste of orange, grapefruit, pine, rye, some bready malts, slight caramel and subtle grassy hops. Medium bodied and an oily texture. A dry, spicy rye and grassy hop bitterness in the finish. I’m loving rye IPAs at the moment and this is another I enjoy. Big citrusy and grassy hops balanced perfectly with spicy rye and bready malts. Great.

3.6 330 ml bottle. Amber/apricot colored body with a towering, creamy, off-white head. Floral, fruity and herbal aromatics along with spicy rye. Strong, hoppy flavor is moderately bitter. A good measure of rye spicing given the generous hop load. Lightly prickly carbonation in a medium body.

2.4 Double ipa avec du seigle, de 8,5 % abv et 70 ebu. Houblonnage en citra, simcoe, cascade. Mon exemplaire était à 6 mois après date. Couleur ambre léger (20 ebc), à la clarté nette. Bulles très fines, en diverses fontaines, très vives. Mousse beige, bien crémeuse, stable à 4 mm. Arômes d’agrumes vifs, fruits de la passion, résine de pin. 1ère bouche très souple mais aussi très résineuse. Arrière-bouche à l’amertume incisive. 2ème où la résine est trop présente, perte d’équilibre. Arrière-bouche sans vraie harmonie. 3ème où la résine est quasi dérangeante. Arrière-bouche astringente. Longueur qui ne peut rétablir l’équilibre, loin s’en faut .. Jambes fines, serrées, collantes en haut. Levure résineuse et granuleuse, ligne faible. Alcool correct, mais il est perdu au milieu du cirque .. par où faut-il commencer ?? .. et donc il renonce. Finale désagréable. CONCLUSION : on a toujours dit qu’il ne faut pas trop en faire sur les ipa, ici on charge le baudet jusqu’à ce qu’il tombe à genoux ..

4.2 Mooi oranje troebel bier met romige witte schuimkraag. Aroma en smaken van caramel, mout, citrus, grapefruit. Licht harsig met warme soepele bittere afdronk. Goed in balans. Prima dipa.

3.4 From 33cl bottle. Pours hazy dark orange with very limited white foam. Aroma is resinous and slightly herbaceous, and malty. Body is medium with low carbonation. Taste is highly bitter, probably too much. Such bitterness is highly persistent in the finish.
