Bottle dated April 2014. Pours a bright glowing orange with a long lasting fluffy white head. Notes of Awesome rustic dank resin and fresh farm grass. Complex. Tasty. Nice balance. Bright dry toasted cracker malts. Tight.

660ml bottle, tasted at home. Taken from notes. Pours clear ligh yellow with a firm white head. Aromas of field flower, some pine and citrus. Gentle creamy mouthfeel and fresh taste. Semi-dry finish. Nice IPA.

Hazy orange colour. Citrus hop aromas. Taste is bitter, citrusy and hoppy.

In short: A yeasty Belgian amber pale with the noble hops cranked up to the max. Very good.
How: Bottle 660ml, consumed a few weeks after I received it through private importation.
The look: Cloudy pale amber body topped by a large beige head with good retention and leaving lots of lacings on the glass.
In long: Nose is spicy grassy hops, some yeasty esters. Taste is very yeasty, some sponge cake, orange peels, grapefruits flesh. A whole lot of grassy and herbal hops, strong spicy character, intrinsic dryness. Body if very fluffy, with a whole lot of big soft bubbles. I usually don’t like yeasty IPAs, but that’s when they are American style, this beer is clearly a Belgian ale but with the noble hops cranked up the American way. I liked that beer. This is my 5480th rating, and what a coincidence, today is the 5480th tomorrow I was going to start drinking less.

Flaska från beernavigator. Pours realy realy cloudy with big yeast patricals that decomposes in the glas. A big floral and yeast nose with citrus and apples there as well. Yeasty also very crisp and refreshing. Herb, grass, flower notes, citrus in a very well balanced belgian APA, well hopped blonde. Distinctive grassy hoppy bitterness Really enjoyable.

33cl fles kleur: geel/goud/ niet helder. Mooi schuimkraag (wit). geur: hop en bloesem smaak: bitter, prikkelend, hop, fruitig (citrus, grapes). Een scherpe en frisse smaak. Erg aangenaam.

330ml bottle (Punavuoren Ahven, Helsinki)
Lovely crisp floral and zesty hop aroma, refreshing and uplifting. A little bit sweet, but it’s hard to tell if it’s a caramelly sweetness or a juicy fruity sweetness - I guess it’s a bit of both. Clear orange, large tight off-white head. Wowsers in the mouth - pure fresh grapefruit. Lovely refreshing palate, full, but neither sticky nor drying. And lovely envigorating carbonation. Just a gently sweet caramelly body, but dominated by the zesty hops. Really bitter biting hops combines with the carboation to give an immense bite - wonderful. One of the crispest belgian beers I’ve ever had, and though the hopping is extreme, this is wonderfully drinkable. Amazingly, once you pour some of the yeast in, it gets softened, and becomes even more drinkable. For the full hop experience, I recommend clear.

Bottle. Orange copper hazy. Fresh greeny hoppy hose; gooseberries, citrus and currants. Dry and bitter body dominated by hoppyness. A bit of butterscotch caramel. Nice, sharp, ipa.

280313. Bottle at home. Pours light hazy golden with a medium high head. Aroma earthy notes, Belgian yeast. Slightly sweet soapy texture. Not Bad.

Draft at BXL East. Pours hazy orange. Aroma of citrus and light hops. Taste is barely bitter. Some citrus and tropical fruit. Really nice drinking Belgian IPA.
