This fine pale ale has citrus and tropical fruit aromatic shared with a well-balanced – yet abundant – hop character. It uses our own Belgian yeast, five malts, two hops, and plenty of patience. Finishing touches include dry-hopping with Cascade hops and warm-cellaring.

From backlog, generally on draught at Deep Ellum, Sunset Grille or other places around Boston, upon release in 2009 and after (but probably haven't had one since 2010 or so. Clear, well-carbonated, brass-bronze. Big, white head, slowly falling to cover. Citrus and lightly spicy phenols in the nose with ample malts adding honey and biscuit. Clean. Malty in the mouth, not too much so, with good attenuation and plentiful spicy hop and spicy phenol. Not too crude, not clovey. Some lingering citrus character with more biscuit and a hint of light pine.

Poured into a tulip, the appearance was a hazy burnt yellow color with a light ruddy orange color. Rimmed with a finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated at a nice pace. Messy lace ends up becoming stringy.
The aroma starts off with some citrus, tropical and grassy hops. Some hay and then lemongrass accompany very nicely. Belgian sugars and a light breadiness.
The flavor brings about that Belgian sweetness nicely and rolling into those previously mentioned hops. Belgian malty sweet aftertaste with a touch of spice blend to form the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionability about it. Carbonation feels good. Nicely executed smooth to bitter agreement on my tongue.
Overall, nicely done Belgian pale ale with a refreshing American hoppy twist. I would have again.

Bottle, 7C. Hazy gold with a large white head that lasts. Aroma of oranges, grapefruit, herbs, dough, peach. Moderate carbonation, lightish bodied. Sweet peach and orange gently giving way to zestier citrus, pine and a little pepper. Good beer - tasty and well balanced - but it’s almost too well turned out to be that interesting.

Sample at The Daily Growler during the One Year Anniversary Celebration on 12/19/2013. The beer is a clear dark golden color with a medium thin white head that recedes gradually. Strings of lacing. The aroma is hoppy with notes of yeast and malt behind it. Medium-bodied with flavors of citrusy hops, yeast and sweet malt. The finish is fruity up front with an earthy yeast aftertaste. Above average overall.

Pours a hazy dusty orange with a sticky white head. Almost laces. Fruity, spicy aroma. the flavor is lightly sweet with good hop bitterness to balance. A bit of dryness in the finish.

Bottle. Must yeast, orange malt and orange peel aroma. Hazy golden yellow with giant white head. Lightly sweet orange/peach malt, musty yeast, and lightly bitter herbal flavor. Body a bit light. Tasty and nicely drinkable.
