330 ml bottle into tulip glass, best before 7/1/2016. Pours hazy golden orange color with a 2-3 finger dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a large cap that lasts. Dense soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a good amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon zest, orange peel, pine, pear, apple, peppercorn, clove, light banana, wheat, biscuit, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/pine hops, fruity/spicy yeast, and moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon zest, orange peel, pine, pear, apple, peppercorn, clove, light banana, wheat, biscuit, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Good amount of pine/citrus rind/herbal hop bitterness and peppery yeast spiciness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon/orange rind, pepper, pine, wheat, biscuit, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Damn nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/pine hops, fruity/spicy yeast, and moderate pale malt flavors; with a nice malt/bitter/spiciness balance, and minimal lingering hop astringency after the finish. Very dry from carbonation and bitter/spiciness as well. Medium-high carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp/sticky/resinous, and fairly creamy/grainy balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 6%. Overall this is a great Belgian IPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/pine hops, fruity/spicy yeast, and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and fairly refreshing to drink. A very enjoyable offering.

33cl bottle from Hop Duvel, Ghent. A pale amber pour with a billowing cream head; citrus aroma with a touch of yeast; soft grainy body to start with some traditional farmhouse notes, then a big wave of sour grapefruit bitterness that overwhelms the palette, and leaves a tart grapefruit finish. You know you’ve been IPAed when you drink this!

Bottle at home in London - picked up at Beermoth. Pours clear gold with a dense, creamy white head. The nose gives off pale grains, light melon, tangerine rind, light Belgian yeast. Light sweet flavour with sturdy grassy and rindy bitterness, touches of alcohol, dry wheat bread. Medium bodied with average carboantion and velvety texture. Lightly warming on the finish, with husky grains, more bitter citrus rind, dry pale bread, hay. OK stuff overall.
