It started out as a Belgo-American menage a trois, but then the brewers arrived and transformed the trans-oceanic affair into a beery lover pentangle. The collaborative minds at Louisville Beer Store, De Struise Brouwers and New Albanian Brewing Company offer this, a willfully disobedient Blonde India Pale Ale with a hop on her shoulder.

I was in the mood for hops today, Learys Fine Wine in Newburyport, MA has me covered! Good price on this 22 oz. bottle. Dirty orange/ blonde color with fizzy, slow dying head. Aroma shows yeast, grain and very mild floral hops. So this wasn’t as hoppy as I was hoping for but still decent.

The flavor is more along the line of a Belgian blonde/ single that is an IPA. Pale malts and grain as the base with yeast character in the center. The hops are mild in the form of grass. Not fair to try this after multiple IPA’ and DIPA’s. Guess it’s the style guidelines getting blurry. I still enjoyed it.

Pours deep gold into a tulip. White head with medium retention recedes leaving sheet lacing. Citrus and mild funk aromas. Dry with caramel and bread upfront turning to mildly sour earth and resin in the medium length finish.

Bomber: Pours hazed amber with a tall, off-white head. Slightly yeasty aroma, with roasted grain. Taste is floral/herbal bitter....very soft. Bready, a little resin. Very light, but nice.

tap at Brewhaven festival - Pours clear gold with a grainy, bready aroma that has a hint of citrus. It’s medium bodied and moderately bitter with some spicy Belgian yeast presence. Good, but with the help of De Struise I expected more.

20oz bottle from Summer Secret Santa 2012
Appearance: Pours clear dark amber with a medium sized off-white head and spotty lacing
Aroma: Caramel, floral and piney
Taste: Dusty caramel malts, floral and mid bitterness in the finish
A decent beer. Malty for a IPA, but the more I drink the more I like it.

This beer pours a hazy yellow-gold color with a thick white head that diminishes slowly. Patchy lacing on the glass. Aroma of yeast, floral hops and malt. Medium body with a citrus and yeast character with notes of hops and caramel malt. The finish is a little thin with a sweet fruity yeast aftertaste. Above average overall.

Bottle, light gusher. Pours with a large foamy white head over a hazed golden body. Aromas are of tangerine, grassy, farmhouse, funk, light pilsner graininess, grapes and citrus. Flavors are bitter, grainy, tangerine, soft citrus, medium bitterness, bready. Medium esters, lively bubbles, pretty dry, creamy mouthfeel. Good.

Bottle. Sweet orange and pine hops aroma. Golden yellow color with giant white head. Sweet orange, barley malt and lightly bitter hops flavor. Hops more subdued than expected but a nice drinker.
