Poured up on tap at Refuge where it exhibits an opaque deep gold body that supports an off white head of foam. The aroma offers up a little bit of Belgian inspired yeasty estery fruitiness that seems apple, pear and a bit banana like before a little bit of vague hoppiness shows up at the end of the draw. The taste is smooth and then moves into grapefruit and tangelo citrusy hops and then it gets a little mango like before modest sweet yeasty Belgian estery apple and pear notes hit about midway. It ends with a mild dryness that seems to start with a sliver of earthy tea like hop notes. Pretty solid Belgian IPA where, after a few ounces, I start to notice resiny pine notes popping up here and there.
