pours golden with a huge off white head. Aroma is light floral hops, ripe fruit, and belgian yeast. Flavor is sweet malt and belgian yeast at first, the hop bitterness shows up in the finish.

Hazy honey gold hue, with a big frothy white head, leaving some laces, yeasty, fruity nose of pears, peaches and apricots, with a lemon citrusy floral hop accent, with a faint grassiness in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a yeasty, honeyed pale malt character, when the beer gets warmer, it becomes more flowery within a hop citrusy, leading towards a fruity, leafy hop bitterness finish.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
On draft at O’Brien’s for CBC/WBC
Pours a clear golden orange hue, minimal white lacing sustains, thick lacing on the glass
Smell is Belgian yeast, sweet honey, light fruits, and lemony citrus hops, fairly subtle for an IPA
Taste is cotton candy and Belgian yeast initially, followed by citrus, light fruits and grassy hops, sweet malts, peppery spices, pine resin, finishes with alcohol and dry bitterness
Mouthfeel is medium-bodied, slick and oily texture, moderate carbonation
Drinkability is moderate, a well-balanced IPA that is a little light on the the hop presence and bordering on cloying sweetness, the Belgian aspect is a unique twist on the style, overall a solid but unremarkable beer
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Poured from a corked belgain bottle. I was really expecting more hops after examining the label. nose shows signs of sugars, expected of a belgian. Hops are obviously more than traditional belgains and slightly spicy. Ignoring the label and just drinking this beer, it is one good beer.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
33 cl bottle poured into a Czechvar glass. Great looking beer with a creamy white head. and lots of lacing. Since I snagged this right off the pallet at the distributor as soon as it came in to the states, it should be super fresh. The aroma makes you think it is. Spicy, peppery hops you usually get from tripels. The flavor is on the sweet side with some banana and candy sugars. This stuff is a whopper, as the alcohol is hardly masked at all. Really yeasty with dried banana and apricots. There’s a really creamy consistency to the body as well, reminding me of PumKing. I haven’t had this beer in a while and I’m going to put this in the rotation. Good stuff.
