hazy bright amber colour, minimal off-white head; aroma of tropical fruits like pinepple and mango, some caramel and bready notes, maybe hints of peach; taste of perfectly balanced bitter-sweetness with tons of tropical fruits; excellent IPA, though not really a Belgian style one in my opinion

Bottle shared at Doerak. Hazy orange with a cream head. Aroma of yeast, fruity hops, mango, citrus and orange. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Decent enough but I hoped for a bit more “tropical”.

Bottle from Bottle Baron. Hazy amber body with yeast chunks floating beneath a thin off-white head. Low carbonation. Aroma of salt, orange pith and caramel. Flavour of orange, marmalade and a dry finish. Medium body with a powdery mouthfeel. Light fizz. Less tropical than I was expecting. Not bad.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a slightly hazy dark brown color with an enormous creamy orange-white head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was tart and fruity with grapefruit, medicine, yeast and mustiness. The flavor was musty and a bit medicinal with moderate tropical fruit, grapefruit, pepper and chalk. Moderately sweet. Long finish. Medium body. Ok.
