out of the presentable cork and cage. Allowed about 1.5 years of age in my cellar. mild light fresh aroma, nothing to stringent or over powering. light golden with a litle bit darker hugh and full white fluffy/fizzy head. mild yeast presence with some mild fruit and malt notes in the flavor, smooth freshh crisp and solid palate. overal pretty smooth and light, not a very deep beer on the front but good from beginning to end.

Dec 16, 2009 Draft at Swift. Pours a lovely, slightly opaque orange-gold with a fine, pure white head. Aroma of Belgian yeast, citrus fruits and some floral hops. Flavor has some nice, though mild, hop character, and some funky Belgian yeast notes. Smooth and crisp on the finish.

Dec 15, 2009 Draft at Thirsty Monk in Asheville. Usually I don’t go crazy for these belgian IPA’s, but this one was very well done. Didn’t feel like just an IPA fermented with belgian yeast, like sometimes. This was prettay, prettay, prettay good.

Nov 10, 2009 Pours a cloudy golden amber orange with golden orange hues when held to a light source and a thick, pillowy 2.5 finger white head with excellent retention that slowly settles into a lasting cap that leaves chunky rings of soapy lacing in it’s path.
Spicy hoppy aroma with lots of estery crisp golden fruit notes, especially grape, apple and pear with a subtle malt presence underneath.
Soft carbonation up front with a lightly hopped creamy medium body with some earthy dry pine notes that linger throughout. Sweet estery golden fruit notes from the Belgian yeast. Apple and pear dominate with hints of grape and raisin. Subtle malt backbone provides nice balance. Slight alcohol warmth present throughout yet the ABV is decently masked making it quite quaffable. Very resinous dry pine hop flavor in the finish.

Oct 30, 2009 On tap at the Bavarian Lodge, Lisle, IL. and served in a short stemmed, globe glass, a lightly hazed, orangy hue, with a finger width of off white foam, and clingy, curtainy lacing. The aroma was fresh, light citrus, negligible yeast, just a hint of pine, and mid-toned fruit as apricot and peach. The flavor was a nice blend of the fruit, hop bitterness and smooth malt. Warming alcohol and subtle dryness capped off the experience. An excellent, well balanced brew as a comingling of Belgian and American styles.
