danielcurtis81 (260), San Diego, California, USA Oct 15, 2008 Getting notebook online. Bottle. Pours a straw gold. Lots of Belgium yeast on the nose. Good hop flavors, with grapefruit flavors. Yeast flavors a little to strong for my liking but that’s the style. Decent beer. alexanderj (1404), San Diego, California, USA Sep 29, 2008 Bottle; poured an orange/goldish color with a white head. Based on the aroma would have guessed this was a Belgian style IPA. Beligian malt and yeast, fruit, grapefruit and bread. I still don’t think I am love with this type of take on an IPA. Not that I hate it, but the parts don’t seem to make a better whole. Very Belgianish, perhaps more than Stones. The hop flavors are of citrus and earth, not really grassy though. Taste reminds me a bit more of an IPA than a double. dmac (916), Toms River, New Jersey, USA Sep 28, 2008 22 oz bomber from beastiefan given to me after BCTC 2008, thanks Dorothy (it’s the Kansas thing Eugene). Pours a nice looking orange/amber with an average size foamy off white head. Super fruity aroma with notes of peach, apricot, pears, slight breadiness and an underlying hint of alcohol. Medium bodied with average carbonation and a slightly bitter finish. Flavor isn’t quite as fruity as the aroma would lead you to believe, notes of citrus rind, yeast, dough, some tropical fruit. This one is actually pretty solid for a Belgian IPA, I will say Yay for this IPA. Hophead22 (359), Redlands, California, USA Sep 26, 2008 22oz bottle. Very tasty brew, nice dark gold color, big white head. Nice bitterness, with a hint of the belgian style thrown in there, but not overpowering. Very well done. lb4lb (1545), Austin, Texas, USA Sep 2, 2008 Pours a clear orange with a light beige head. Smell is fresh and hoppy with some sweetness as well. floral, fruity and spices from the belgian yeast coming through. Nice. Taste is very soft and balanced with light sweetness, subtle, smooth hoppy bitterness and a belgian yeasty spiciness in the end. Medium bodied. Medium carbonation. Nice beer and the alcohol is hidden pretty well but shows a touch.
