Bottle 33 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Pours a clear golden with a creamy white head. Rich and powerful aromatic hops. Medium body, some sweet fruit, spicy yeast and a potent late hop kick. Not the worst Belgian/US hybrid. The hops win - fortunately. 060413

33 cl bottle @ olio, BBE 20.08.2013
Aroma has soapy citrus, biscuits and some grassy hops. Flavour has soapy citrus, apricot, grassy hops and hints of nettles. The grassy hops keep lingering in the aftertaste. A Belgian IPA indeed.
