On tap at the brewery. Aroma is a ton of pineapple, some melon and other tropical fruit. A hint of an overripe fruit character. Some pink peppercorn phenolics and citrus as well. Pours a slightly cloudy yellow gold with a thin white head that recedes somewhat quickly. No lacing. Flavor has a lot of the same fruit as the aroma, especially the pineapple. There is more of a cracker malt character as well. Assertive bitterness is a touch on the astringent side. Nice dry finish. O touch of a farmhouse character, but more fruity than goaty. Some spicy phenolics in the finish, but more like peppercorn than clove. Mouthfeel is medium to medium light with medium carbonation. Low hop astringency and only a low alcohol warmth. Overall a really enjoyable Belgian IPA but the bitterness is a touch aggressive for the body. I could drink this beer daily. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
