3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle.
Head is initially average sized, frothy, off-white, mostly lasting.
Body is medium amber.
Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain, caramel), moderately hoppy (grapefruit, apricot, resin), lightly yeasty (basement, cobwebs), with light notes of lemon candy, gum, alcohol, cooked eggs.
Flavor is moderately to heavily sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, lightly to moderately bitter.
Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, moderately to heavily bitter.
Medium body, velvety texture, lively carbonation, moderately to heavily alcoholic.
Pretty good for this brewery. Little twang of something eggy, but otherwise the aroma is varied and pleasant. Fairly good flavor balance, given the style...a bit brutish and abrasive, but acceptable. Nice mouthfeel, but there is certainly a lot of burn for being 8.3%. Overall a good effort.

Pours a light copper with perfect head. A floral aroma is well known with other notes of hops, earth tones, grass and lemon. Well rounded hops and Belgian yeast. A tad bitter with some coffee aftertaste. Great beer!

Bottle. Smell of GRASS, hops, and citrus. Excellent complexity in the taste. It has a lot of hop kick accompanied by good bitterness. It also is creamy and finishes with a sweet syrupyness that doesn’t come around very often. Good blend of Belgian styles and an IPA.

35,5cl bottle at Café Laundromat, Oslo. Pours deep golden with a small white head. Hoppy fruity and malty aroma with citrus, hints of trpocal fruits, caramel and Belgian yeast. Lightly sweet with a nice, quite dry finish. Well balanced and very pleasant. (2012-05-26)

(bottle). A cross between a fine Belgian ale and an IPA and the best of both. Light amber complexion with long-lasting head. Lots of flavor from Belgian yeast and distinct hop signature. Velvety smooth palate. A wonderful beer.

Heldere amberkleur. Een goede kraag van fijn schuim dat mooi aan het glas blijft plakken en als een dun laagje op het bier blijft liggen. Aroma van roggebrood en grapefruit. Smaakt bitterzoet met wat grapefruit. Droge afdronk met een nasmaak van alweer grapefruit.. Redelijk wat body. Drinkt zich lekker weg

12oz bottle. Slight orange, clear. Really interesting aroma. The phenols and spices from hoeg. but backed with assertive hops. I really enjoy the belgian in this one. But there is a lot of bitterness and green hops. A weird mixture, but imo worth trying. Like mixing fanta and cola, youve got to try it once at least.

3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Hopheads delight. This isn’t a Belgian-Style, no matter what the label says. Medium amber with a nice ring head and spotty lace. The taste does begin with caramel malt, but it is so quickly dominated by the pine hops that it hardly matters. Not as strong as some IPAs, but as dominant as it gets. Not enough interest for me.
