On-tap at The PB Tap Room. Pours cloudy amber with a bi white head, good lace. Smells yeasty and bready malty with a mellow, sweet hop profile. Tastes about the same with the belgiany yeast and malt except that the hops are more pronounced, bitter and grassy. Nice mix. This is one of the best of this bastard style. Medium body, good carbonation.

Brass colored beer with a white head and a really nice fruity smell. The taste is really fruity with a really nice amount of hops. This is not hop slaughter. It is quite flowery and quite bitter. It also leaves no aftertaste which is welcome relief from most D.I.P.As that do.

22oz bottle courtesy Durhambeer. Cloudy orange pour with a thick white head. Sweet malt aroma, lots of spice and pepper and big earthy hops. Tatse is medium bodied, huge spicy hop taste with hints of pepper and orange. Dry bitter hop aftertaste. An interesting collaboration of styles, very big and bold yet exhibiting some nice Belgian yeast influences. Good beer.

Bottle. Poured a clear golden-orange color with a thick white head that faded to a layer but left nice lacing. Aroma of sweet honey, a bit of clove and banana, belgian yeast, and some leafy American hops with some pine. Aroma was much hoppier than I anticipated. Smooth, lightly sweet entry with some light honey quickly transitions into a fresh, leafy hoppiness with some light citrus fruit and a light belgian yeastiness that dries the palate. Dry and crisp on the palate thanks to the fresh hops. Much better than I expected.

Bottle. From Jessup Plaza. Nice cloudy orange pour with a small white head. Aroma of banana and clove, along with some hop aromas. Taste is nice with some banana and clove along with some nice dry hops. Very enjoyable.

22oz bottle. Medium gold pour, white head. Yeasty, hoppy aroma. Sweet hoppiness, very subtle though. The hoppiness stays on the tongue for awhile afterwards, very nice.
