Brasserie du Molard. One of the very few brewpubs in this city. Their regular selection contains three of their own beers. Now, after a long time, they have created something new: an IPA.
The beer looks semicloudy, deep amber. The carbonation is astonishingly long-lasting, it keeps pushing chains of tiny bubbles from the bottom upward. A truly fluffy head decorates the surface up to the level of two fingers albeit the level declines to half a finger soon. It remains as a creamy wavy lacing for astonishingly long.
A bit of caramel malt in the air, with a piney rasp, doughy wort and a hint of apricot. A floral meadowy undertone lingers throughout. The gustatory triumph portrays bitter caramel malt, resin, pine needle, dried apricot and orange peel. Interestingly fruity and crisp at the same time.
The body is medium to medium-full. The end is slightly more resinous and piney than upfront although the fruity flavors don't really disappear anywhere.
The mouthfeel is medium-full, light-crisp, moderately dry and somewhat drying. It's also soft and smooth as well as... worty. Like unfinished... This would be reasonable, were it an Ambrée, but as an IPA... Well. Nope.
