22 oz. bottle from International Beer Garten (Lutz, FL). Pours a cloudy golden yellow color with a billowing white foam head that leaves a ton of lacing along the side of the glass. Initial aroma of citrus hops that after a minute develop into a nice fruity bouquet of Belgian yeast, spices, and more hops. There is an interesting mixture of flavors going on followed by a pleasantly bitter finish. A nice combination of two tasty styles.

Cloudy orange gold in color. Nice blend of fruity Belgian triple qualities with that of an IPA. Good balance. But not really what I’m looking for in a brew. I want something more to stand out out. Feels a bit muddled. Kind of weird. But worth seeking out to try.

Cask at American beer fest White Horse, London. Deep orange pour. Fruity Belgian aroma. An American influenced IPA. Sweet, hoppy nicely balanced, enjoyable.

Cask/handpump at the White Horse, Parson’s Green. Dark orange, slightly cloudy, pineapple, resin and honey on the nose, smooth body turns very bitter on the finish. A strange mixture - a Belgian style slightly sour beer, made in an American style and then served as an English cask ale!

On tap at Stone Pilot night. Cloudy golden in color. Aromas of belgian yeast and citrus. Medium mouthfeel. Good solid tasty hoppiness with some balanced sweetness. Some earthy grassy quality. Great finish to a very good Belgian style IPA. Definitely prefer this over the filtered bottled version.

On tap at Stone. Cloudy yellow color. Very fruity hoppy aroma. Lightly sweet. Super easy to drink. Some banana aroma. Excellent.

1st rating, on tap at the world bistro today with wetherel, dr.bill, and later doubleo. Gotta say I like this more than the original and its just different, the more I drank of it the more I liked it. Pours gold with no head. Nose is hoppy, with belgian yeast. Taste is sweet, hoppy and well balanced.
