At West Flanders. Pours a hazy orange straw with a half finger of white head. Aroma is hoppy, resinous, piney, with a hoppy, bitter, moldly boozy finish.. Classic ipa hop profile. Soft to moderate carbonation, medium body, and mildly oily texture. A tasty, hoppy, crisp ipa, though nothing out of the ordinary.

Draught at bar. Amber color, white head. Bitter taste with citrus, grapefruit, pine, tropical fruits and lots of hops. Intensely hopped body. Dry bitter finish with grapefruit. Very nice IPA.

Pour on tap at the brewery, clear orange pour with white head, aroma brought notes of caramel, toffee, slight hints of pine, grass, slight orange, grapefruit, hints of slight spice in there as well. Taste is a nice mix of caramel, toffee, some slight pine, grass, orange, grapefruit, touch of spice, finishing fairly bitter, slightly sweet.

Tap @ West Flanders Boulder. Pours an orangish/copper appearance with an off white head. Slight grapefruity/orange citrusy, a bit spicy hoppy aroma. The flavor is below par- peach/orange citrusy with a bit of piney hops but otherwise forgettable.

Draught at brewpub. A very nicely hopped IPA with good bitterness. Bit of malt to the body. Favorite of the tasting.

Draught at the brewery in Boulder, on October 8, 2012
Hazy copper color, off-white head. Hoppy, citrus, fresh taste. Spritzy mouthfeel, high bitterness. Hoppy citrus scent. Bitter apricot aftertaste.

Murky dark golden with a grapefruity piney aroma, with a perfumy caramel backbone. The flavor is balanced but has a nice resiny bitterness that lasts through the palate. Sweet backbone of caramel and citrus.
