"The color is golden and the fine white foam ensures a necklace of bubbles on the surface. The nose surprises with notes of fruity and floral hops, usually present in IPAs. On the palate, the effervescence is beautiful, the bubbles burst all over with delicacy, the hops are still there on the palate, with aromas of exotic fruits and hints of sauvignon. In the second mouth, the flavors become herbaceous, greener, and the finish is long. A blonde akin to the American Pale Ale style, which we propose to call "Pale Ale Savoyarde" with New World hops."

About the wine:

About the domain :

Brice Leguennec and Pierre François Martin develop their range on a permanent basis, with ephemeral brews that you have to know how to seize to enjoy! The success of the permanent range has led to a loyal clientele on the lookout for new products. As the two partners have imagination and energy to spare, they take on projects with their characteristic touch of madness. Like the challenge taken up by the English with an Under Dog IPA, where the aim was to create an IPA without using the usual hops, but with at least 20% Target. Our brewers play the game up to 60% Target! Their current research focuses on Russian Imperial Stouts, Imperial IPAs and barrel-aged beers. Releases to keep an eye on. All their labels have changed, and are now "flashy" with very colorful landscapes.
