Bu à Vices et Versa, en fur (12 oz). Rousse brumeuse, collet épais. Arome d’houblon simple et légé, un peu d’agrume. Goût d’houblon légé et un peu crèmeux, peu sucré.

Any first impressions?
-A rich, nitroed head covers the pale copper.
-A feeble aroma proposes citrusy hoppiness and toffee sweetness.
-Sweet cereals almost reach butterscotch, and soda minerals dry out the last half.
-A creamy, but artificially swollen body leaves a bulky, but empty impression on the tastebuds.

What if you dig deeper?
-The toffee maltiness is very simple, and overrides most of the hoppiness.
-I wouldn’t have said there was an IPA within if I hadn’t seen it on the board.
-A weak dry, herbal bitterness supports, but renders no flavor.
-A clean, but soporific cream ale from Alchimiste, which does not exceed any expectations I had for it.
