Draft. Rich amber beer with a cream colored head. Light grapefruit and yeast aroma. Grapefruit and pine flavor with yeast. Medium bodied. Grapefruit and pine linger with yeast and light earthiness.

A: The pour is an extremely murky copper color with a white head and some sticky lacing. S: The nose starts off with citrus hops followed quickly by sweet caramel malts and a bit of candi sugar. Some semi-sweet oranges and grapefruit peel as well as a lot of spicy esters. T: A decent citrus/grapefruit bitterness and hop flavor up front. Moderately sweet with a big-time yeast flavor on the aftertaste. There’s something very grassy and herbal about this beer too, almost like eucalyptus. M: The body is medium to full and the carbonation is moderate. D: Supposed to be a "Belgian Imperial IPA". Certainly quite Belgian, but I don’t get too much of an Imperial IPA character. At least there’s not too much alcohol presence, but this wasn’t exactly super drinkable.

Dark caramel color with a creamy white head. Faint hoppy aroma. Caramel and grassy citrus hops taste with a straw finish.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours hazy orange with a thin beige head and a sweet malt aroma. There is a carbonated caramel malt flavor with candi sugar and a very bitter finish.
