Toutatis Belgian IPA presents a sophisticated marriage of New World hop intensity and traditional Continental yeast character. Pouring a vibrant amber, it greets the nose with a high-intensity bouquet of floral blossoms and spicy phenols. This Belgian IPA showcases a complex interplay between four distinct hop varieties and fruity esters, yielding notes of citrus peel and cracked pepper. On the palate, a firm bitterness is balanced by a lean, attenuated body and a touch of honeyed malt. The finish is notably dry and crisp, emphasizing the 6.7% ABV through a subtle, integrated warmth that invites another sip.
