Old rating from 04-10-16 - 355ml bottle brought back from my trip to NYC. Pours a hazy golden orange with good carbonation and a fluffy white head. Aroma is lightly malty, hoppy, yeasty, with a touch of fruit. Taste is moderately sweet, Belgian yeast spicy, herb, citrus, some flower, straw, light hay with a long medium to fairly strong bitter finish.

Bottle. Cloudy gold in color. Giant head with nice lace. Aroma is the pleasant floral-hoppy notes that I find really nice. The taste is also really nice, not the strip the skin off your tongue bitterness of some DIPAs. Citrus and floral favors. Like it!

Bottle at the mondiale 2014. Greal pale malts, yeasty and bready, mixed with great tropical fruit, and grassy hops, with a slight but very nice citrus note. Body is perfect, crisp, clean and quenching. Carb is perfect, efervescent and clean. The fiinish is between low to medium bitterness, with a great pale cereal flavor and slme solid grassy citrus hoppiness. Out standing drinkability. Great stuff.

if we could cut this wind down, that'd be great.

Marshmallow peeps, spearmint, grass nose. Hazy amber, thick lacy head. Cat piss, grass, pear, lillies. Medium body easy carbonation. Wow, how much do I love BPAs? Such bright and complimentary complexity. A harmonious marriage of fruit and floral notes, both from the hops and the yeast by products. This beer is an outstanding representation of the style and the latest iteration of Ommegang’s development of the BPA.

This was poured into a tulip glass.
The appearance had a hazy bronzed depth circling under a semi-rocky foamy white head. Lacing appears nice and sticky around the glass.
The smell had a semi-sweet grassiness covering light tropical and citrus hops. Light breadiness blends into balance.
The taste was mainly sweet with a nice light juicy citrus underneath. Fresh citrus hits in the aftertaste. Semi-dry citrus rind hits in the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. Carbonation runs fairly light allowing the citrus bitterness hit nicely. A definite dryness hits my tongue nicely.
Overall, I say this was a pretty good Belgian pale ale, it hits all of the marks for the style. It just comes across a bit dryer than others of its style. Definitely one to have with its food.
