Keg at the brewery. Hazy orange, thin fizzy tan head, poor retention. Aroma of honey, oats, lemon, pine, grapefruit, fresh tires (not a typo, this hop combo reminds me of a Costco tire center). The taste is pine, citrus, oats. Medium bodied, lingering bitterness.

Draught at King’s Head on 4/2/16.
A thoroughly hazy golden-orange beer that reminds of the New England IPA with a large white head atop that steadily fades to cover.
The Belgian yeast is very nicely integrated here, adding fruitiness and light earthiness to the otherwise juicy and lemon-sweaty hop notes. Enough pale malt sweetness left behind to give a light indication of honey from the nose and little, if any resin. Didn’t actually realize this was Belgian, as the hops mostly cover up any overt Belgian esters, but it just comes off like a rustic, juicy, interesting IPA. No alcohol or flaws.
In the flavor it’s got the tell-tale New England juiciness. Not as explosive and lush as Tree House et al., but certainly the lovely malt sweetness and oat texture are highly redolent of those. Dryness comes on the end, probably in large part due to the Belgian yeast, with ample, tight carbonation and tons of lemon, grass, nectarine and pineapple. Very mild on the bitterness, though more than enough to balance the malts. Really can’t stand Chouffe, but didn’t even notice it here. Thanks hops!

Draft. Appearance wise it looks like orange juice. The dry hopping is obvious in mild earthy notes and citrus. Also hints of yeast.
The flavor lets you know it is an IPA. The yeast is taken over by the hops, (as it should) citrus shows in light display with a tone pine. Mouthfeel is nice from the oat addition. I get a mild taste of alcohol but overall this is solid. And in general a Belgian IPA is tuff style to get in Harmony, this Brewer pulls it off. Very easy to drink.
