Hazy deep copper coloured body with a very thick off-white head, rather soapy and at about five centimetres tall. Aroma of grass, hay, yeast, bananas and some pungent and nice bubble gum. Medium-bodied; Assertive yeast qualities with some bread and a good bit of malt. Aftertaste shows some dry herbal hoppiness with a little grass, a little malt and grain and finishes with a touch of sweetness, but some noticeable hops throughout. Overall, a good light belgian-based IPA that shows well throughout, but not a category changer at all. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Liqour Outelt in Boonton, New Jersey on 22-December-2015 for US$1,34 sampled at home in Washington on 03-March-2016.

Pour is a clear orange with a large white head. Aroma fills the nose with a decent helping of floal piney hops. Flavor is more of a minor hop with a honeydew melon flavor that gets a bit stale after awhile. Finish is clean and a bit dull. I did not get much of a Belgian aspect out of this. This is kind of a session ale thats a bit low on the flavor profile.

Purchased at Bottles and Cans in Chicago, IL; enjoyed at home while watching game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals. Appearance is a very cloudy gold with a rich, pronounced white head. Aroma of clove and fruit, sweet, smells like pears. Taste is very similar to Magic Hat #9, a little too similar, it’s just OK.
