Bottle at Max and Jess’s place. Pours a hazed gold with a large white head that falls off quickly. Big musky aromas, soft wheat. Soft and musky. Not sure if I just missed some big hop things going on or what, seeing now that it’s an IPA, but there was a bunch of musk and a touch of warming booze on the end. Tasty either way.

Good off-white head, fast gone over hazy straw to olive-coloured beer. Very nice hoppy nose, both EU as USA, hopbales, and yes, straw or hay. Fresh, hop-dominated taste, grapey but not citrussy, dry garden herbs and generally delicate-flowery - lime blossoms. Medium bodied, but refreshing. Extremely nice beer, delicate in the EU/USA combination. Let the imitators of USA IPA’s try this first, before blundering on.

Bottle, bought @ Willems, Grobbendonk. Pours a deep orange with a frothy off white head. Lots of bubbles in the liquid. Aroma is sweet, spicy, light pilsner malts and a good hoppiness - grassy and peppery. Nice creaminess in the feel. Flavour begins sweet, lightly spiced, lots of herbal hops, biscuits, belgian sugars and ginger. A strong finish of peppery, herbal and floral bitterness at the end. A very nice Belgian IPA...
