Pours a hazy golden/amber with a thick lt tan head...nice retention and lacing. Aroma is fruity with lt citrus...orange...and a bit of spice reminiscent of a saison. Flavor follows suit...fruity but backed up with decent bitterness and spice...a bit of a leathery note. Mouthfeel is medium and lively with a spicy/fruity finish that dries a bit.

Draft at GABF, new state! Pours an attractive deep bronze with slight haze and a fluffy/sticky head. Nose is nice. White pepper, some soft floral hops and a light malt component. On tasting, very well balanced. The bitterness and phenols work in tandem, soft ester notes as well. Light banana and soft citrus. Very solid Belgian IPA for sure. Nice.

Thanks to Charlie for opening this one at the most recent Tampa tasting. Pours a hazy gold with a white head. Nose is malt, pineapple, apricot, yeast, esters, banana, and some funk. Flavor is similar with some complexities among the Belgian yeast, the citrusy hops, and some brett character. Interesting beer.
