19 May 2018. At De Heeren van Liedekercke. Shared with Anke.
Pours hazy dark orange with a big, lasting, foamy, off-white head; good lacing; lots of small floaties. The aroma contains yeast, unripe peach, mango & pineapple, citrus, bready malt, grass, straw. Light citric sour onset, yeasty, and light to medium hoppy bitter, a bit spicy and bready sweet. Dry, hoppy finish, lingering spices & yeast. Medium to full body, slick texture, fizzy carbonation. Good beer, typically Belgian though; in the 21st century, this can't hardly be called an IPA any more.

$4.99 bottle, Wine Warehouse. Pours amber with a small off-white head. Aroma is stale funky hops, a little yeast, perhaps honey. Flavor is stale hops, resin, lite honey, light caramel. Meh.

330ml bottle. Pours misty gold, overly large white head. Aroma is fresh and floral. Taste is clean, smooth, lightly sweet Belgian blonde yeast, bready with a light fruity hop edge. Easy-going.

Bottle, 750 ml from Beergium. Shared with rest at the grand tasting 11/2016. Pours cloudy yellow with medium creamy white head. Malty, light fruit, average yeast, bit spicy. Light to moderate sweetness, thin. Haven’t expected much, but still a bit of disappointment.

hazy golden to orange colour, large, though not too stable off-white head; aroma of bread, tropical fruits, floral and earthy notes; taste is rather malty than hoppy with tropical fruity, earthy andyesty notes; good, but not a typical IPA
