Le Bilboquet Colonel Cornwallis
IPA - India Pale Ale 5.5 º
Colonel Cornwallis is a structured American IPA that commands attention with an intense hop profile. Vibrant notes of grapefruit zest and resinous pine lead the sensory experience, complemented by a subtle, yeast-derived fruitiness mentioned in its lineage. The malt character is clean and noble, providing a supportive, grainy foundation without overshadowing the hops. Despite its assertive bitterness, the beer remains approachable at its sessionable strength, finishing dry and crisp. This balance reflects a traditional approach to the style, where the focus remains on a clean fermentation and a hop-forward delivery that lingers pleasantly on the palate.
Appearance. Medium gold to light reddish-amber in color with excellent clarity. It supports a medium-sized, persistent off-white head that leaves consistent lacing on the glass.
Aroma. High intensity hop aroma dominated by citrus zest, pine resin, and a hint of tropical stone fruit. Low, clean, grainy maltiness provides a subtle background, with very light, clean fermentation esters contributing to a slightly fruity character.
Taste. Initial impression is hop-forward with flavors of grapefruit and pine needles. Malt flavor is low, presenting as clean bread and light toast. A firm bitterness is evident throughout, leading to a dry finish. The aftertaste is hoppy and bitter but remains clean without harshness.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, approachable texture. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a crisp sensation. Alcohol presence is very light and well-integrated, offering only a subtle, smooth warmth.
