330ml bottle. Hazy golden amber with a nice white head. Grapefruit, tropical fruits and bitter. Good!
Mooi donkerblond/licht oranje bier met stevige stabiele witte schuimkraag. Aroma en smaken van mango, ananas, perzik, abrikoos, beetje toffee. Zeer fruitige aanzet, licht zoetig die mooi overvloeit in een mooi gebalanceerde licht bittere afdronk. Mooi van kleur, mooi van smaak, mooie afdronk. Zeer goeie dipa.
Une petite bombe de fruits de la passion et d’agrumes avec une amertume douce.
Bottle from Worldwide Alcohol bottle shop, Chelmsford, shared at Dan’s. Pours golden with a small white head. Light aroma of hop, and citrus fruit. Medium plus sweetness and light bitterness. Medium body and sticky texture, carbonation is soft. Enjoyable.
Sample at Borefts 2016. Poured a very slightly hazy light amber with a thin white head. The aroma is citrus fruit, light hop. The flavour is moderate sweet with a rich oily buttery yeast, toffee, fruit, alcohol palate. Full bodied with soft carbonation.
Robe ambrée, mousse peu abondante mais crémeuse. Nez plutôit discret pour une impérial IPA, le malt se marque plus que le houblon, on retrouve des fruits exotiques, une pointe de mangue, mais un ensemble peu complexe. L’attaque de bouche est ample, épicée, la bulle est crémeuse mais l’ensemble manque un peu de fraîcheur et d’amertume, la finale est longue mais surtout maltée. Une bière agréable mais qui n’évoque pas une IPA.
Bue à la pression au Borefts Beer Festival 2016. J’avais d’autres choses à faire que de prendre des notes ;)

(Thiriez Dalva) Tap at Borefts.
Orange coloured body, clear, with a small and thin off-white head on top, with average retention.
Not as hoppy aroma as I expected, rather malty, with some heavy citrus afterwards.
Taste is quite sweet, alcohol, malts light citrus.
Medium thick body, good carbonation.
Okay, maybe worth of another try.

On tap at Borefts. Cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma of diacetyl with a touch of old hops. Sweet diacetyl flavour with fruity notes and old hops
Bottle. Hazy golden color with small white head. Aroma is grapefruit, grassy, some phenols. Taste is grapefruit, grassy, residual sweetness, some toasted malts, but rather dry. Slightly boozy bitter finish. Good!
Goud helder bier met een goede witte schuim kraag. Ruikt fruitig, zoet fruit, hop. Smaakt kruidig, hop, bloemig.
Wazig goudblond bier met grote witte wandklevende schuimkraag. Geur: zoetig, honing, beetje kaas, wat fruitig, mandarijn. Smaak: bitter, moutzoetig, citrus. Goede balans bitter - zoet. Medium volmondig. Goede koolzuurprikkel. Afdronk: droog licht bitter en licht zoet.
Bottle from The Beerhive in Edinburgh. First impression: over-carbonated. Poured an enormous, thick, frothy head that filled half the glass before growing over the brim. Colour is deep golden/tangerine. Very hazy and resinous. Yeasty, citrusy aroma with some smooth vanilla tones. Full mouth-feel. Just a shame the ridiculous head made it feel like only half a beer.
33cl bottle at home. Somewhat pale orange with a small white head. Medium body with low to moderate carbonation. Quite sweet with subtle bitterness. Mango, peach, tropical fruits, pine, caramel and malts. Quite OK.
Bue en bouteille de 75cl au Supercoin à Paris,
couleur blonde, mousse et effervescence moyenne.
Attaque sur le malt au nez
En bouche attaque sur le malt avec un c^té houblonné sur la résine. Manque de corpulence et peu alcooleuse.
Dorée claire limpide, belle rondeur, amertume prononcée sans être agressive car mêlée d’une petite douceur fruitée. Bouteille 33cl achetée chez Intercaves, Noisy-le-Grand, France, bue le 27/04/2016.
DIPA from one of the more progressive French breweries, hopped with American hops as well as some rather unknown French variety. Medium thick, off-white, moussy head breaking in the middle but well retaining on the edge, lightly hazy peachy orange blonde robe, cloudy with a darker pinkish hue with deposit added. Aroma seems to have more in common with Belgian tripel than with American DIPA, yielding impressions of banana (even bubblegum), peach, orange flesh, paprika, ripe gooseberry, sweetbread, honey, white pepper, jute, marmelade, sweet white wine, dry hay, tulips, toasted white bread, yellow plum, ginger, horseradish, very weak toasted onion and grapefruit peel. Fruity, estery onset, hints of gooseberry, sweet ripe banana, pineapple and peach, with a redcurrant sourishness surrounding it; medium carbo. Slick, slightly oily, supple but ’full’ caramelly and even honeyish malt sweetness with a toasted bittering accent, while fruity esters as well as phenolic spiciness dance on top. Finishes in a thoroughly earthy, spicy hoppiness, gently tonic water- or grapefruit-like but nowhere near as firm as one would expect from a beer calling itself ’double IPA’; retronasally, I get notes of citrus peel and even some very subtle pine, but not enough to save the day. Caramelly malt ’juiciness’ comes through, accompanied by the earthy hop bitterness. France is slowly becoming aware of the craft beer revolution - but very slowly indeed; if even Thiriez is uncapable of evoking the American IPA experience, then who remains? This is not a DIPA: this is a Belgian IPA at best, in other words: a tripel adorned with far too moderately applied American hoppiness. Bittering, sure, but where are the New World hop effects in the nose and what is that truckload of isoamylacetate (banana) doing here? Reminds me a bit of Brabant’s Plato’s Cave, but less daring and way too ’Belgian’ to qualify as a DIPA. By itself not a bad beer by any means, but I expected something way more American so in that sense, a bit of a disappointment. Regard this as a ’Belgian IPA’ and you’ll enjoy this a lot more, I think.
Flarra. Syns stoora bubblor kallas kolsyra. Doften påminner om engelsk pub Ale , Lager. Smakar lite Pilsner viss syra sen kommer aromatisk lite örter ja underlig smak. Njäää lite plast , syntetiskt och mest pilsner. Kanske kanske är det nåt fel på ölen också.. Skit öl
330ml bottle bought @Johnny’s Off License (Rome). Pours deep golden/light amber with a medium and persistent off-white head. Aroma is malty, sugary, resin, pine, citrus. Flavour has a strong malt profile with a decent bitter end, a bit unbalanced. Medium body, light carbonation. No.
At bruine kroeg, bottle courtesy of Maakun. Almost clear golden brew with huge fluffy white head. Sweet fruitiness, chalkiness and comfortable bitterness. Medium sweet, medium bitter. Smooth carbonated feel. Like it!
Flaska från Saveur Biere. Smak och doft av humle, malt, karamell, grapefrukt, citrus med toner av honung, apelsin och persika. Stor sötma, fruktig, beska med smak av grapefrukt och toner av tall.
Slightly cloudy yellow with white foam appreciable layer that leaves some loop. maltose candy and biscuit, and a blanket of pine and resins (perhaps also some grapefruit) that play on the palate sensations and bitter resinous characteristics of an IPA, complemented with notes and spicy wild plants. With a dry, bitter and earthy end, leaves a long lasting refreshing mouthfeel,
33 cl bottle. Hazy orange with a thick frothy head. Yeasty, doughy, citrusy. Very sweet, sour and bitter finish, from bittering european hops. High carbonation, quite heavy stuff.
