Pours slightly hazy amber with small off-white head. Clear aroma of smoked fish, with notes of malt and touches of caramel. Bitter, slightly roasty flavour, with notes of hops and sparse malty touches. Bitter aftertaste. Out of balance. Naaaah....

Reviewed from notes and my trip to AZ.
The appearance was a orange/brown colored body with a light one finger ed white foamy head that dies within about a minute. Light lacing tries to cling but slides for the most part.
The smell starts smelling like an American Amber, but eventually shows the Belgium aspects of a nice light yeasty sweet lightly hoppiness.
The taste was mainly sweet but leads to a decent yeastiness, and gives way to the same aftertaste and yet still has a dry finish.
On the palate, it sat at/about a light to medium on the body, somewhat sessionable. Carbonation is good for a Belgium Pale Ale and for me
Overall, seems like more of a Belgian Pale Ale than a Belgian IPA since I didn’t get enough hops. Still worthy of coming back to.

Bottle - A well crafted golden blond with subtle hints of the sometimes overpowering Belgian yeast. Very little of the alcohol is evident in the taste.

Pours up at AZ Strong Ale Fest 2014 with a mahogany colored body that has thin copper edges and supports a thin mocha head. The aroma offers up dark roasted malts as well as some dark roasted coffee and to a lesser degree a citrus hop like note. The taste starts with dark roasted malts and some coffee notes and then mild and somewhat vague citrus to spicy hoppiness. The roasted malts pick up into the finish. This tries to come together and it feels like it is going in a cohesive direction but the hops just don’t help this thing get there.
