No head left, clear darker amber-orange beer; some lace. Fruity, citrussy nose, hop, and a bit of caramel; summer grain. Bitter, citruspeel, but in delayed action - at first nothing! A tad of lightly toasted malts, but not much. Slick, oily, if not really well-bodied. Well, OK. Certainly.

65 cl bottle @ home
Aroma is sweet, smoky and malty with some toffee and smoked ham. Rather sweet for a smoked, feels even a bit sticky. But this is American, no surprises here. Flavour is sweet with toffee, malt, smoky tones and . Finishes with mellow hoppy tones. Smoke is intense, but not that intense as I expected from the text. A tad too sweet and sticky for me – drinkability suffers. A bit disappointing, but definitely not bad still.

A nice biting IPA, but with a touch of a sweet finish. Pours clear amber with a nice robust creamy head. Aroma is complex, sweet malt, honey, toffee, caramel, no sign of the hops that are to come. Taste comes in with a nice malt flavor, hos riding the wave on to the taste buds at the finish. Enjoyable throughout.

Delicious beer. Thick and oily mouthfeel and appearance. Taste of brown malt, cacao and coffee. Has a slightly spicey touch, with some hops as well. Very nice.

6.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Can @ Kafe Belgie, small sample. Almost clear yellow to golden color, short white head. Aroma of soft citrussy hops, slight grainy malt. Bit low on aroma actually. Soft bitterness in taste, bit crisp, clean. But also a bit boring. Could have used a bit more aroma hop in my book.
