Sample at GABF 10/11/2012, thanks to Bluemeow76 for assistance with note-taking. Pours a hazy dark amber color with a medium foamy light beige head and small patches of lacing. Aroma of hops, citrus and yeast. Medium body with flavors of citrusy hops, bready malt and yeast. The finish is fruity with a lingering hops aftertaste. Above average overall.

Tap at Amato’s Ale House, Denver - 01/06/12. Pours a slightly hazy golden with a thin white head. Caramel malts, hops, tropical fruit on the nose. Grapefruit, a little pine, sweet malt taste. High end of medium bodied, moderate carbonation with a bitter finish.

Tap @ River North. Pours a fairly hazy, orange appearance with an off white head. Fair fruitiness in the nose along with some pepper notes from the Belgian yeast. Kind of an interesting flavor with some peach/apricot/citrusy notes, a bit of spiciness from the yeast, and moderate bitterness. I got some booze notes but they weren’t overly harsh by any means.

Supposedly a Belgian double IPA, and that is pretty apparent - turbid orange pour - aroma is dusty, earthy, almost musky, with light esters and peppery hops, as well as light peppery phenols - flavor is initially sweet, with moderate notes of citrus - dries out through the middle - hops are peppery, zesty, lightly  citrusy - Belgian yeast character arrives late in the form of very mild esters, light cobweb and mellow peppery phenols - I’m a fan of this beer - I am also a fan of the Belgian yeast this brewer uses, but he needs to learn how to use it well, as it works in the Belgian pale and this beer, but gets out of control in the saison - I see a lot of promise here.

Tap @ River North Brewery, Denver. Pours hazy golden with a white head, leavings nice lacings on the glass. Aroma is malty, caramel, big tropical fruit, peach, kiwi, orange, grapefruit. Taste is malty, light caramel, strangely enough i get quite some licorice aswell, huge fruity hops, peach, orange, grapefruit. Full bodied, lively (abit to high) carbonation, lasting bitter finish. 040312
