Jan 11, 2009 22 oz. bottle courtesy of a trade with dkachur. Pours a hazy gold with a moderate linen white head that lasted until the end of the glass and left partial lace. Very pleasant aroma of oranges, lemons and Belgian yeast. There is some malt in the flavor initially, however this is quickly washed over by bitter grapefruit hops and some mild Belgian yeast lurking in the background. The flavor is less fruity than the aroma suggests. Bitter and dry at the finish. An interesting interpretation of the style.

Jan 10, 2009 Bomber. Gold color with a tight white head and excellent lacing. Apricoty IPA aroma, light citrus, and spicy. Definite belgian character in the sweetness. Fairly tame hop aroma as far as stone is concerned. There’s a sweet fresh herbal smell there also. Drinks much more like a typical IPA. Bitter grapefruity hops, little sweetness, light bodied. I enjoyed the aroma much more than the flavor. But, an enjoyable beer overall.

Jan 10, 2009 Bottle from River’s Bend.
Poured golden color with an average frothy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate sour citrus hop and pepper aroma. Medium body with a slick texture and flat carbonation. Moderate to heavy bittersweet flavor with a moderate to heavy spicy bittersweet finish of medium duration.
This is a standout brew and very good for style.

Jan 9, 2009 22oz bottle in a Remy Martin snifter. Color is clear orange/golden. Aroma is aggressively hopped with aromas of sweet bubblegum and some citrus. Taste has more bitterness than the aroma leads one to think and overly less bountiful hop flavor. Has a lightly oily and resiny hop finish. I did not really pick up any of the Belgian yeast aspects, and it seemed very filtered. But decent type of all hop brew.

Jan 9, 2009 Bottle from the brewery. Pours amber with a good 1 finger, white head. The aroma is of bread and citrusy-pine. The mouthfeel is pretty complex. It has the smoothness of a belgian and the bite of an ipa. It balances out pretty nicely and the bready-malt flavors compliment the more abrasive hop flavors. pretty good brew.
