Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of fruits, malt, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, straw, and citrus fruits, leading to a dry and bitter finish. --- Beer merged from original tick of XVIth Chapel on 04 Jul 2008 at 03:53 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7.5. Original review text: Draft at the brewpub. I was told it was an American Strong, not a BW as it is presently listed. A hazy amber beer wtih a thin orangey head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of citrusy and other fruits, one of which is peach. The flavor is sweet malty with strong notes of fruit among them peaches, as well as a light touch of alcohol, leading to a grapefruity hoppy finish.

Bottle 65 cl. Courtesy of Ungstrup. Pours a hazy golden with a lively off-white head. Fruity, sweet, hoppy nose. Medium body, a little fruit and yeast and then the massive hop kick sets in, quite some US hops leading to a bitter finish. 250113

On tap at Brouwer's Caf� for Big Wood '12, pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma of dry hops and wild turkey barrels upfront, seeming finally like a BA IPA where the hops are still prominent, no doubt due to the dry hopping. Flavour is likewise well-balanced between the dry hopping and the barrels. Again, an IPA that is well barrel aged without obscuring the IPA qualities. Good stuff, but doesn't hold a candle to the regular Vortex IPA.

Can 1 pt. Courtesy of byaeger. Pours a cloudy amber with a creamy off-white head leaving a little lacework. Nice citrusy hops in the nose. Fairly rich body, heavy on both fruit and caramel, but it’s really all a platform for the juicy and citrusy hops leading to a bitter finish. A very solid and fairly big IPA. 221112

16 oz. can courtesy of Sean and Amber. Perfect eye appeal. Hazy gold with a thin layer layer of head. Flavor is mild, light coriander with solid wheat character. Lots of sugar, I guess the candi sugar is the Belgian character. When it gets warm, it kind of smells like perfume. The lemongrass makes it a bit different as well. It’s ok.
