More stuff I drank a month ago and neglected to enter the rating on.
Pours a sort of golden to Orange color with a small head and some nice lacing on the glass.
The aroma is earthy and "rustic" with plenty of orange and some fruity and grassy hops, it’s nice... and best of all it’s inviting.
The flavor is clementine & apricot with plenty of nice hop bitterness and spicy hop character. It’s dry, simple, and delicious.

One of the most interesting beers I’ve had in a long time. Lots of bright tropical hop flavors atop a subtle barnyard funk. Lighter bodied and dry. Simultaneously rustic, intricate, and refined. Get your hands on some.

Shared by RobertDale at a tasting. 750mL bottle, 1 of 3 Prairie Ales we tried and the only one that didn’t blow its cork all over the place. Dark amber orange pour, too dark to see through. In a nutshell, delicious tropical fruity hoppy, mango,and peach beer in both aroma and flavor. Just the right hops and a well controlled Belgian yeast make this a fruit like flavor explosion. Could just enjoy the crap out of this for a while. Thicker mouthfeel with subdued carbonation for a soft feel on the cheeks.

UPDATED: JUN 18, 2013 Lovely floral aroma, big esters and dough is the only detractor. Super dry which lets the 8% (as per label) abv come through. doughy again, estery. Very dry will appropriate carbonation.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 JorisPPattyn (7363) - Antwerpen, BELGIUM - JUN 16, 2013
Initially clear copper-orange beer, well-carbonated to medium, yellowish head. Quite grapey hops, bit spicy/piney too. Orangepeel, orangemarmalade notes, and some specific flowers. Bitter, bitter oranges, orangepeelmarmalade, grapefruitpeel. Citrussy-fruity (esters), but also definitely resinous hops, very slightly catty. Warming up, starts to taste as orangepeel syrup. Bit sharpish MF, well-carbonated, medium bodied, hopoily-slick. Good IPA. Don’t get the "Belgian-Style", unless it’s something Wyewhiteyeastlabs said so.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 swanmann (477) - Norman, Oklahoma, USA - JUN 15, 2013
From the bottle: It’s clear bronze with a well sustained cap of slightly orange hued, tiny white bubbles. Incredible citrus aroma; lot’s of grapefruit, citrus rind, and also some floral notes similar to honeysuckle, orange. It’s definitely dry, bitter, but the flavor is lightly sweet, mild citrus, tropical fruit. Yummy, and to bring out these flavors and characteristics in this neck of the woods is remarkable and appreciated.
