Draft. Appearance wise it looks like orange juice. The dry hopping is obvious in mild earthy notes and citrus. Also hints of yeast.
The flavor lets you know it is an IPA. The yeast is taken over by the hops, (as it should) citrus shows in light display with a tone pine. Mouthfeel is nice from the oat addition. I get a mild taste of alcohol but overall this is solid. And in general a Belgian IPA is tuff style to get in Harmony, this Brewer pulls it off. Very easy to drink.

Draught at King’s Head Pub, 3/6/16.
I don’t know if it was just because this was following Gneiss Cenozoic, but damn was this good. Pale straw golden body is moderately hazy and topped by a small to medium sized white head that shows moderate retention for the style.
Beautiful lychee in the nose is both vegetal (in a good way) and sweet, with soft mango in the background a fruity lactic character. Smells extremely fragrant and very fruity but the actual fruit character is nowhere near overdone.
Lush lychee, mango and lactic acid all gather about the palate, ushered on by a tight carbonation. Wonderfully dry on the end with wheat and barley drying things out further and creating a highly crisp finish. Fruits linger on with just a touch of sweetness. Awesome.

Bottle from Bert’s I had to lookup tayberry, a cross between Blackberry and Red Raspberry. Rich chocolate maltiness with a distinct tart berry aroma. Light oxidation and a touch of coconut. Rich chocolate with a big tart berry flavor. Mild coconut plays a supporting roll which is fine with me. Lingering chocolate roast and fruit in the finish. Spirited carbonation, medium body. This is a flavorful well made beer, but I think it can be better. The tartness of the berries seem a bit strong and overpower the chocolate maltiness in the flavor. I’d like a bit more of a chewy mouth and full body with a touch less carbonation.

Bottle from Bert’s Pours a solid dark brown with a frothy bubbly tan head that shows moderate retention. Rich chocolate earth and tobacco on the nose with bits of sweet pitted fruit and a touch of caramelized sugar. A bit more dark fruit on the flavor than I was anticipating based on the nose. Sweet sugary chocolate with bits of earth and a lingering restrained roasted finish. Somewhere about mid palette there is a sharp tart fruitiness that clashes a little. Interesting beer and a pretty nice sipper.

500 ml bottle. Paid $11.25 at Prost, North Hampton, NH. Hazy gold in color with massive lacing on the glass, creamy full carbonation. Aroma is straw, yeast, citrus. Just a trace of barnyard
Flavor has a steady amount of citrus with plenty of straw and yeast. Very mild hop balance with grassy. The mouthfeel is very effervescent. Grainy and dry texture with a refreshing finish. Drained the glass quickly.

Bottle from the brewery. Pours a solid black with a huge lively tan head that persists forever. Roasty, chocolate, intensely nutty with bits of tart and pitted fruits. Just a hint of caramelized sugar, maple perhaps, but not readily apparent. That is an awesome insanely complex nose! The flavor is roasty and adds a bit of a molasses that wasn’t really in the aroma. Big brown sugary malt backbone with quite a nutty flavor melding with some alcohol, light earth, funk and pitted fruitiness. Light solvent notes sometimes linger in the finish. I enjoyed sipping on this most of the night.

Growler from the brewery filled yesterday. Brilliant amber with red pink hues and a decent sized bubbly white head with hints of pink in it. Big raspberry and passion fruit on the nose with plenty of lemony lactic bite and a touch of saline. The flavor is full of tart fruit with a hint of lemony lactic bite to it. Light earthy and salt round the flavor out quite nicely. Pretty damn good tart wine cooler. :) I enjoyed the hell out of this beer!

4oz taster at the source. Deep amber copper color with a frothy off white head that shows great retention. I’m getting caramelized honey, toast, lemony tartness and light earth on the nose. The flavor is lemony tart with caramelized sugar and a non deScript fruitiness. I taste a light smokiness that really melds with the lactic bite. I would have never guessed pumpkins unless you told me. I almost didn’t order this because I hate pumpkin beers, so glad I did!

From a growler filled hours ago at the brewery. Mostly clear light golden color with a decent sized bubbly white head that persists. The aroma is just dripping with tropical fruit citrus and pine, malt well maybe some light sweet bread if I squint and sniff really hard. More pine and resin in the flavor than fruit with some bready crackery malt batting cleanup. That’s a pretty damn good IPA right there!

Bottle from Bert’s Hazy light yellow with a decent sized bubbly white head that shows great retention. Solid earthy funk with some spicy earthy fruity hops aromas and flavors to counter. Some light band aid phenols are a bit off putting. Not horrible, but could be better.
