3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pour on tap at the brewpub, described as a belgo IPA. Hazy yellow-orange with white head, aroma brought notes of big fruity pear and peach going right into orange and grapefruit, nice biscuit and crackery malts with hints of slight warmth. Taste is a bit on the sweet side, but a seamless mix of belgian esters with fruity hops, hints of biscuit with a spicy note, finishes fairly bitter. Pretty nice version of the style.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
Mostly clear dark golden with a nice smooth foamy small head. Aroma has some sweet pale grains with a yeasty light fruit tone, like peach+apricot+banana, with a subdued dusty herbal hop presence. Flavor is yeasty doughy with some earthy pale malt grains, a bit of dusty light fruity esters from the yeast, a bit of sweet floral bitterness and some herbal hoppy flavors. Kinda tastes like a golden more than a pale, with all that grainy cereal tones and dusty yeast.

3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Tap at the brewpub - starts out promising, with dry, crackery malts, some flinty character, dusty yeast character - then things get a bit honey sweet, and some medicinal and boozy character develops, along with some strong alcohol presence, and light plastic-ish phenols - make this a 6% belgian ale, and it would be much better.
