Bottle, at the Corner Foodery, Philadelphia. A creamy, off-white head forms over a hazy, orange colored body, releasing aromas of oranges, zest mostly, some Belgian yeastyness and a spiced touch. Nice bitterness in the flavor, not too sweet, with citrus zest and some sweetish malts. It’s full-bodied, smooth and with a nice carbonation. Rather dry. Long belgo finish with oranges and a decent bitterness. Nice indeed. 150622

Refrigerated 12 oz. brown bottle poured into a Trappist glass. Deep translucent light orange with big bright white head. Aroma is dry orangey yeast, medium body, medium carbonation, and some small-bubble lacing. Taste is yeasty, herbal hops, some orange, and dry finish. Good Belgian ale.

Ha, it took me a minute to realize what I had here, presupposing it was just an IPA, I thought, oh man, its old. No, its a Belgian IPA. And its fine. Nice light banana wheat citrus zest phenol that I would otherwise not like but is balanced by the fruitiness and spicy hopping, resiny bitter finish.

Summer Beer Dabbler 2014. Very good hop aroma and Belgian yeast in the flavor. Great palate, and comparable to other Belgian style IPAs of good quality.
