Tap at Penrose. Hazy golden orange body. Big foamy off-white head. Pleasant mango-citrus in the aroma. Quite a well balanced Belgian IPA, with enough hops to balance out the big yeast tones. Pretty much everything you could want for the style, but lacks any traits that really throw it over the top. Grounded. Fruity depth. Well done.

12 oz. bottle from Binny’s South Loop location. Cloudy pale straw color with thin head in my snifter. Aroma is mild fruity Belgian yeast and a slightly floral hop undertone, pleasurable. Taste is an extension of the aroma.
The yeast and hops are at a great level of balance. The fruitiness from the yeast hits the tongue upfront with the hops showing a strong presence in the finish. Lightly grassy and mildly lingering pine notes. The body is in the medium range with a yeasty chewiness. No date on the bottle but it’s clear to me this is on the fresh side. Should be killer on draft!
