I love Belgian style beers, and I love IPAs, so I was very excited to try this ber. It wasn’t quite the magical collision I’d hoped for, but it was quite good.
Beer was a hazy pale yellow and very foamy. Aroma was of champagne and slightly sour, but not detectably hoppy. Flavor was puckery up-front like a tripel, and the finish was bitter, but not in a conventional IPA kind of way. A very distinct flavor all the way through. A very soft and billow-y mouthfeel. Delicious.

Sep 6, 2008 Updated: Sep 7, 2008Pleasantly crushed con Jakebra. What the fuck am I drinking? So misleading by the appearance. Looks like a cheap Heifeweizen. This is one of the most complexest beers I’ve ever tried. I don’t even know what to say about it. I am so impressed and confused and scared and overwhelmed. Just get this and try it. Absolutely blown away.

Sep 6, 2008 Draft at Tylers. Hazy straw yellow with a huge soapy white head. Yeasty nose, some dough, and an interesting blast of bitterness. The flavors come across like a hopped up Belgian ale, and it works very well. The bitterness cleans the mouth leaving it a nice sharp finish. I’m sure the more times I had this beer, the more flavors I’d notice.

Sep 5, 2008 Pour a pale straw color with a very frothy white head that lasts and lasts. The taste is very hoppy with a bit of fruit in the finish. The palate is vary "fizzY’ as this beer is hugely carbonated (beware every bottle I have opened over-flows). This is a great blending of style and an all around wonderful beer.

Sep 4, 2008 Pours a hazy light gold color with a tight white head. Very sweet, pilsen malt aroma with a small amount of hop pushing through, surrounded by yeasty fruitiness. Seemingly light body for 9%with moderate carbonation and heavy lacing. Citrus hop flavors surrounded by candy sweetness. Decent amount of alcohol warming at the back of the tounge and throat.

Sep 3, 2008 75cl bottle via trade with 1_2many. Just a really interesting beer that combines a tripel and an IPA perfectly. Hazy, cloudy gold colour with a big white head and sticky lacing.Big fruity hops in the aroma. Flavour is more citrus hops built on a malty backbone and just a hint of tripel spice. 9ABV barely noticeable, which is dangerous with a 750.
