An interesting beer, bottle split with dbarnold. More hops for a belgian blonde ale, slight sour finish. Interesting beer.

Tulppaanilasissa on hieman samea olut, jonka väri on amber. Paksua valkoista vaahtoa muodostuu runsaasti. Oluessa on hiivainen, mausteinen ja banaanisen hedelmäinen tuoksu. Maku on hiivainen, mausteinen, hedelmäinen ja alkoholimainen. Lämmittää mukavasti kylmän kauppareissun jälkeen. Melko runsas.

One of the more unique beers I’ve ever tasted...like a mixture of mostly belgian tripel, a little sour, and a little IPA. It’s not hop forward, but there is some bit and pineness that you wouldn’t usually get in a belgian beer. Sour is VERY subtle, you don’t have to like sours to drink this. Flavor includes sweet, candy fruit, a little hop, then a slight sour finish. If you are a beer nerd, give it a whirl.

Thanks to zdk for the bottle. Pours clear pale gold with a foamy white head. Aroma started out fairly subtle but became more noticeable as it warmed up. Fruity and hoppy with some belgian yeast, apple, citrus hops, floral notes. Taste is similar, fruity belgian with a bit of an alcoholic burn. An interesting drink but enjoyable, think the alcohol could be toned down a bit.

Aroma: yeast, alcohol. Unbalanced taste. Sweet, bitter, strong. Bad head. Not at all as hoppy as you think. Hop-it?

Golden coloured beer with a nice big head that holds decent, sticks good to the glass. The smell is hops, spices, and lots of malts. Less hoppy then expected. The taste is spiced, malts,alochol. While warming the hops get more trough, good bitter finish.

Belgian IPAs are funky and fun, and this is one of the better ones! Less sour or moldy than some other Belgain-yeasted IPAs but this one is clean and refreshing

mile (1221) - Helsinki, FINLAND - FEB 2, 2011
Bottle. Golden, hazy, average and mostly diminishing head. Moderate, malty and sweetish aroma, light fruitiness and alcohol. Body is medium, malty and sweetish flavor, citrus hoppyness, light alcohol and fruitiness. Finish is average, malty and lightly sweetish, alcohol and citrus hoppyness. Just too much alcohol considering the body and hoppyness.
