KyotoLefty (4777) - Kyoto, JAPAN - MAR 27, 2012
Bottle from Domus Birrae. Nice citrus hops nose, lemon and lemon zest, a bit of candy, peach, stone fruit, dough. Deep gold, clear, with a high, fine head. Hop dominated flavor, light bready malt and honey match it well, with zest, grass, some white grape. Yeast spiciness. Peppery finish moderately bitter and dirty.  Easy drinking. Clean and dry. Good, but not remarkable.

MJGG (858) - Montreal, Quebec, CANADA - MAR 18, 2012
Bouteilles de 33 cl. Merci David ! Arômes assez intenses de houblon américain très résineux et fruité. Robe dorée assez foncée, peu de mousse et effervescence moyenne. En bouche, le houblon typiquement américain est accompagné par un malt légèrement sucré rappelant le sucre d’orge et le caramel clair. La levure est à l’arrière-plan, mais contribue tout de même quelques phénols épicés. Amertume résineuse et poivrée assez intense en finale. Intéressant.

From a bottle poured an amber color with a good amount of head. Malty hoppy flavor with a quick finish.

Strykzone (3866) - Wood River, Illinois, USA - FEB 15, 2012
Bottle. This pours a dingy cloudy orange with a white layer of lasting foam. The nose is yeast and fruit. Oranges and more citrus. The flavor comes across is bitter on the first sip. It is peppery, too. It also offers lots of fruit and yeast. The bitterness remains big throughout. It must be from hops and they seem to only add bitterness. Except for the huge bitterness this is a classic Belgian. For me a little less bitter would be good but this was interesting and tasty.

11.2oz. bottle served in a tulip. Poured a clear gold with a finger plus of fine, white bubbled head. Bottle conditioned. Light Belgian yeast spice with some citrus in the aroma. Lots of spice in the flavor, coriander and a little black pepper. More citrus. Slight hop bitterness. Light bodied and dry. Plenty of carbonation. Tasty.

egajdzis (4949) - Spring Mount, Pennsylvania, USA - DEC 23, 2011
Hazy golden color with a small, white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus, vanilla, toffee malts, and some floral hops. Taste of citrus, light grass, toffee malts, lightly bitter, hop finish. Like a clean Orval.

beernbourbon (1161) - St. Louis, Missouri, USA - DEC 22, 2011
Bottle. Pour is cloudy copper with a large rocky white head. Aroma is light belgian spicy yeast, faint toffee malt, light crisp and clean hop, and a touch of black pepper. A Belgian IPA. Flavor is very true to nose with a floral note that comes through nicely and lingers. Really straight forward but really pleasant. An all-day beer.
