6.9/10 β€” Appearance 7 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
473ml can. Cloudy, dark yellow-ish, golden colour with average, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Fruity and minimally floral, hoppy and mildly funky, yeasty aroma, sweet-ish, pale malty background, hints of apricot, pineapple, a touch of orange, orange peel, floral honey. Taste is mildly bitter, fruity and slightly floral hoppy, mildly funky yeasty, pale malty basis with some residual sweetness, hints of apricot and pineapple, some orange peel, a minimally alcoholic touch, peppery spicy, yeasty overtones; lingering, zesty, mildly bitter hoppy finish.
Oily-watery texture, smooth and soft, simultaneously slightly dry palate, medium, prickly carbonation.
Rustic indeed, quite "Belgian" and funky - OK.

Sampled from can shared at Hooghe Noorden Tatsing 2025. A bit unclear yellow color, medium sized white head. Aroma and flavor are moderately malty, citrusy hoppy, grassy, and hoppy with a moderate to decent bitterness. Solid.

On tap at the Arbor location.
Aroma is fairly hoppy with notes of grapefruit pith, dank, pine resin, berries and tropical citrus. Light grain and alcohol notes.
Pours a slightly hazy, holden orange with a medium sized, thick, pillowy, white head that recedes steadily to a small film that lingers. Medium high lacing and small legs.
Flavor is slightly sweet with light cracker malt notes. Fairly bitter with light alcohol notes. Moderately strong notes of grapefruit pith, berries, passion fruit and dank, oily resin. Light citrus notes.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth.
Overall, a fine IPA but I wouldn't call this hazy. It's fairly clear and would absolutely pass for a West Coast IPA. Decent hop notes and bitterness.

Can. Pours lightly hazy golden, small white head, good lacing. Aroma is grassy, diesel, armpits. Flavor is light sweet, light bitter. Sharp. Medium body. Maybe it needs some more dwell time.
