On tap @ Beer Temple. Orange/amber color. Off white rocky head. Aroma: resin, fresh hops (acidic even), grassy, grainy. Flavor: Grassy, medium bitter (bit acidic). Medium bodied. Nice firm bitter finish with just a hint of malt for balance. Nice beer, but not sure what is Belgian about this.

Sampled at Beer for Beasts. Pours amber and tastes of mild citrus hops, some Belgian yeasts, cloves, with mild spice. My commercial descriptions lists this as 7.1% alc which is as close as I like to get to session.

Received in trade from sixpoint, hand bottled at the brewery, thanks for the opportunity and generosity. Pours a cloudy pale golden color with a fluffy white head that persists forever. Lace sticks to everything in sight. Smells of clove, bubblegum, spicy yeast, citrus hops. Very sweet smelling aroma, very interesting nose. Taste is malty, hints of clove, pepper, apricot, very sweet, but not cloying. Very dry finish. Medium body, sweet sticky mouthfeel, ample carbonation. Great Belgian style IPA. I’d love to sample this again.

On draught at Sunset Grill, 10/27/2005 with SuIIy. Looks the part, a foamy white head atop a chill-hazed tangerine-amber colored beer, with small bubbles and moderate retention and lacing. Aroma has a spicy, herbal and celery-like feel to it, with lemons and limes and light cookie dough in the background. Balanced and pleasant aroma. Flavor begins with hops bitterness and flavor, which is refreshing at first. The hops profile gets to be rather boring, however, and the Belgian yeast just dosent agree with me. Too muddled and sweetish. Havent really gotten in to any of their Belgian beers yet, though. Bitterness waxes as hops flavor wanes, creating more lemons/tangerines and a very dry, floral bitterness. Sweet cookie-like malt in the background does not add any interesting complexity. Mouthfeel is lively, with a bit of wateriness, and a medium body overall. No alcohol apparency.
