bottle. hazy golden pour with enormous thick white head. Head is so thick reminds me of moraine(spelling??). floral hop aroma with nice yeast. banana, some alocohol as well. lively on the palate. hops backed with caramel malts, yeast, pepper and spice. alcohol shows itself occasionally. nice mild/moderate bitter finish. nice lacing and once again the head is the biggest I’ve ever seen.

Bottled 750. Bought in Charlotte at Brawley’s. Beer was hazy, light yellow iwth a large, rocky, off-white, mostly lasting head. The aroma was pretty dang neat! All of the hoppiness of an American IPA beautifully balanced on the complex nose of a good Belgian Tripel. Skippy! Aroma was malty with light notes of cookie/caramel, moderate notes of tasted grain; Heavily hoppy with a complex little portfolio of flowers, herbs, lemon and resin/pine; Yeasty with a light note of barnyard, moderate notes of cobweb, dough and soap; Moderate miscellaneous note of banana, light notes of honey and oak. The flavor was moderately-to-heavily sweet, heavily bitter with a long, moderately bittersweet finish. Remarkably clean finish. The body was light, the texture was watery and teh carbonation was lively.

750ml. bottle. Hazy golden color with a humongous rocky white head that left sticky lacing all over the glass. Nice hoppy, yeasty aroma with some citrus, hay and malt. Flavor is mildly sweet malts, lots of yeast, wet hay and a nice citrus hop finish. I liked Urthel Hop-It and I think I like this one a little more. The hop presence is much more pronounced.

Bottle from Sam’s. well I think that they tried too hard to do too much and came up too short. Funky syrupy brew with a layer of pear flavor over a hoppiness that just had no real definition to me. It wasn’t bad by any means but just I came off wondering what I just drank.

Bottle thanks to CMUBEERMAN. Pours cloudy chunky gold, crazy thick chunky white head. Aroma is funky, musty, tart, tangy. Flavor is funky, musty, bitter (from hops), slight broccoli.

750ml bottle thanks to argo0: Pours to a hazy golden straw body with small bubbles rising to meet a large, frothy, creamy, white head. The aroma is fruity hops - raspberry, pear, and bitter earthy/floral hops, light yeast, banana, along with hints of sour pale malts. The taste is bitter earthy/floral hops, bitter banana, light clove, earthy malt, black pepper, sage, herbs, spicy earthy hops, mild lemon grass, and banana skin. Light-medium bodied, lively carbonated.

hazy yellow color with huige white head. flavor and aroma of banana, clove, lemon, nad hops. almost like a hefe moreso than IPA or trippel IMO but still anexcellent beer.
