Another great collision of styles. Belgian meet IPA.. Light with nice amount of hops.

Hand bottle thanks to bman1113vr. The smell is fruits, spices, peachy, and good. The taste is papery, fruits, spices, malts, hops, and good. The look is clear, not too much white head, and golden in color.

Draught at The Bruery’s anniversary. Hazy light straw color and a frothy white head, giving it a wit-like appearance. After several beers with no hops in the aroma, this one really blew me away. Sweet grapefruit, spicy hops, cinnamon, pastry dough and oranges. The flavor has light malts with a spicy, hoppy, somewhat herbal bitter finish. Medium-light bodied with medium carbonation. Pretty light and refreshing drinker overall, with a pleasing bitterness and an amazing aroma.

Hand bottled bottle. Body-thin flat piss yellow. Looks like a urine sample. Nose-apricot, peach, lychee. Taste-spiky, bong water, hemp seed, sterile, coriander, light lotion on the back end. And odd combination of flavors that really works out in the end.

On tap at The Bruery. Color of clear gold with a nice sized white head. Aroma of yeast, earth and something I liken to BO. Flavor was the same but with more banana, spice to go with the earthy and BO flavor. Flavors don’t blend to well for me; not a big fan of their hoppier beers thus far.
