Pale ale, superbly drinkable. Very hoppy with strong hints of exotic fruit, ideal for the more discerning clientele. Possessing all the personality of traditional I.P.As. Top-fermented, bottle conditioned ale.

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a lazing cream colored head. The aroma has strong notes of citrus, flowers, and hops. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of hops, leading to a dry and bitter finish. Bone dry. Huge thanks to yespr for sharing.

Bottle, kindly shared by larsga. It pours a golden-orange, hazy body, topped by a big, white head. The aroma has a nice, dominant pale-maltyness, as well as a fruityness and some spicyness. The flavor is sure of the Belgian Ale-style, balancing malty sweetness and fruityness, and adding a spicy and yeasty touch. Full-bodied, and a long, spiced, pale-malty finish. Sure drinkable and enjoyable. (080216)

Biggish offwhite lasting head. Deep hazy orangey body. Mealy deep herbal lemony yeasty aroma with sweetish notes. Intense sharpish herbal yeasty fruity mealy taste with a dryish background. Very nice, although quite unusual. (0.75l bottle from Mulligan’s pub in Milano.)

Golden color, small head. Very nice malt and cereals aroma, deep, sweetish medium body, with good malt flavor and very strong biterness, light residual sweetness that balances well. Very good.
2008-12-24, batch 20, about 2 years old, 7-4-7-4-14=36
Hazy deep blond color; big frothy head. Nice Belgian aroma. It has a strong, dry malt flavor, spicy (coriander), with strong bitterness, light bitter oranges and pine needles, some Belgian yeast character too. Probably with the age it loses the freshness (it’s the same batch as my first tasting) and the bitterness is more evident.

Cloudy deep blond color; big head. It has some hoppy aroma. It has a dryish mouthfeel, with some malt and strong bitterness, reminding me too much the Pilsners brewed with kits (malt extracts and possibly powedered hop); and there is too much yeast; the final therefore, between yeast and bitterness, is unpleasant.

Not an IPA, but a Belgian Ale, with hops from Poperinge
Cloudy golden color; creamy head. Delicate aroma, fruity, pears, orange, flowers. Even if the alcohol rate is low, it has a good malt flavor, lasting, with an interesting hopping, and still some sweetness till the end. Excellent!
My favorite beer at the Beerfest and the biggest surprise; brewed with the perfect Belgian art, a masterpiece from the West Flanders. And it’s a real pleasure talking to the brewmaster!
