Style : ipa impériale selon le brasseur
7 % d’alcool
« 'Brewed to celebrate the opening of the Blue Jays’ “Grapefruit League” season in Florida, this is an Imperial Pale Ale that will satisfy the hop-head in everyone. This west-coast style craft ale is made with Cascade hops to give it a pronounced “grapefruit” aroma and palate with a very dry bitterness and long lingering aftertaste. Made with only pale malts, this golden beauty is a very simple yet elegant beer. »'
« 'We have been thinking about brewing a big blonde American-style Imperial Pale Ale ever since we made our Curious Parrot last summer in Ottawa and now’s the time to do it! We brew strong specialty beers in Ottawa in the winter (it’s cold there!) and Imperial Pale Ales are an old 19th Century style that fits in with our old 19th Century building there! The liberal use of US grown Cascade hops gives the beer a very big “grapefruit” aroma and palate and bringing the beer out in the last week of February when “Grapefruit League” Major League Baseball is starting meant that the name was almost pre-determined! No grapefruits were harmed in the making of this beer! It’s a lovely rich beer blond beer with a beautiful white head and long lingering hop finish. »'

Pamplemousses, marmelades, malts, sucre, bonbons, tangerines et résineux. Au nez c’est expressif, beau fruité, mais les malts sont bien perceptible également. En bouche la vedette ce sont les malts qui prennent trop de place à mon gout. Fruité d’agrumes présents et charmeurs, mais ils ne ressortent pas assez. Surtout il y a un sucré, bonbons mêmes, qui est fatiguant à la longue. Finale en douceur, pas sèche, sur une impression fugace d’amertume. Pas mauvaise, mais bien ordinaire. 12/20
