Assertive bitterness from the New World hops with subtle fruits esters from the Belgian yeast, all beautifully balanced with the addition of malted rye.

Can. Nose is malty, bread, yeast, spice. Taste is bready, spice, citrus, greapefruit, apple. Chewy malt bite, caramel, toffee. It's reasonable enough, but the hops are not that prominent. No clue how this is in the top 50.

Lots of hops, very herby up front, slightly too bitter with a cloying finish

Can from Sainsbury's, Bedford. Clear golden brown with a ring of white head. Smells lovely, with masses of tropical fruit hop, iced tea, pine resin. Tastes slightly more muted, although the light bitterness lasts to the finish. Body's watery and the carbonation is fairly low. All in all it's a pretty amazing beer.

Can from Sainsbury's, Halifax. Hazy amber with a thin head. Has a tasty mix of tropical fruits and caramels, with the latter more dominant.

500 ml bottle, BB date 09.17, from Aberdeen Country Fair. ABV is 6.2%. Called a "Belgian IPA", the IBU is 80. Orange to amber colour, moderate white head. Moderate aroma of fruity Belgian ale yeast and fruity and earthy hops. The flavour is well hopped throughout, with fruity, earthy and herbal hops. Hints of spicy Belgian ale yeast, but despite the yeast, this is definitely more of an IPA than a Belgian ale with regard to style.

Pours an unfiltered amber colour with a golden hue. The big warm cap is frothy, long lasting giving out some thick foamy lacing. Floral aromas from the hops. Smooth mouthfeel with a little oil to it. The taste has some light grassiness from the hops with some nice grapefruit and other citrus notes. Again, smooth finish. Not too crazy bitter, but hard to find the Belgian side of this brew. Still, pretty good overall.

Bottle from the LCBO. Hazy orange amber with a two finger cream coloured head that lingers, leaving some patchy lace. Nose has a good dose of pine and tropical fruit with hints of nectarine, grass, bready malts and some honey. Flavour has a light+ toffee and honey base supporting a big bitterness of pine, grapefruit, lemon peel and a light spice lurking in the background. Mouth is medium and creamy with average carbonation and lingering bitter finish. Interesting combination 8/4/7+/4/16
