Bottled. An unclear dark golden beer with a thin lazing off-white head. The aroma has notes of fruit - grapefruit, malt, and some yeast. The flavor is sweet with notes of straw, grapefruit, other fruits, malt, and a bit of yeast, leading to a dry grapefruity finish.

Bottle 65 cl. Courtesy of madsberg. Pours a hazy golden with a smallish off-white head. Very peachy nose with a vague yeasty touch. Medium body, sweet fruit with almost perfumy and exotic hop accents. Hoppy finish with a little alcohol burn. No real Belgian traces - fortunately. 280110

22oz bottle sampled at the DC local tasting. Pours a clear yellow gold with a lacing white head. Aroma of C hops (Columbus, Cascade) with some sugary Belgian-ness. Flavor is sweet, fruity, tropical fruits, candy sweetness, grapefruit. Almost like a liquid lollipop. Too sweet and too fruity. Imbalanced.

Pours an amber color with orange highlights and a medium thick white head that recedes to an outer ring eventually. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of spices and yeast plus a hint of pine. Medium body with flavors of spices, malt, grapefruit and hops. Touches of pine here as well. The finish is oily and citrusy with a yeast aftertaste. Solid all around.

Courtesy of jdubFL. Pours deep clear gold with near white head of foam and spotty lacing. The aroma is full and yummy with rich citrus orange and grapefruit along with a modest amount of Belgian like yeasty spice notes. Pretty nice. The taste is pretty bold with thick citrus hop flavors and building hop bitterness. Those notes soon pile into the modest Belgian like yeasty notes. Certainly one of the tastier Belgian IPA or IIPA I’ve had basically because it is more a classic American IPA than anything else. Plus it is made by a damn good brewery, cheers!

Pour is a hazy yellow with a large white head. Aroma is a super sweet pine hop with some honeydew in there. Flavor is super sweet, almost too sweet for me. Also i get some more melon flavor and what happen to the hops??? The sweetness almost blocks them out entirely. Its different i’ll give it that but this is no IIPA hop bomb, its kind of a sweet mess.
