Jan 16, 2009 Dynamic beer. I won’t get too specific except to say this: This brew is versatile. I find too many Belgian beers to be cloying and thin bodied or just too one-dimensional. I really think this beer is a hit! It has characteristics of a classic witbier, the drinkability of a well made German hefe and the bright hoppiness of something like Victory’s Prima Pils. It’s deliciously dangerous at 8% and can appeal to both the Blue Moon drinker or the elitist beer snob that YOU probably are or aspire to be! ;) To me, a year-round winner!

Nov 18, 2009 Pours cloudy, bright yellow color with orange highlight and a massive fluffy white head that never dissapears. Citrusy and spicy on the nose. Well-rounded spicy, coriander driven mouthfeel with bready malts and rather aromatic hoppy notes. Lasting hoppy finish, but not as robust as the label promises. Hazy, thick body with perfect, discreet carbonation and well-hidden alcohol level. Amazing belgian strong golden.

Aug 16, 2008 Flaske. Aftenens hřjdepunkt. Meget lys řl der nćsten ligner en witbier. Flot hćngende skumhoved. Duften er meget frugtig og en smule gćret, dog kan humlen ogsĺ anes. Smagen er lidt ovre i en trippel dog ikke sĺ frugtet, men bitterhumlen bringer tankerne hen til en amerikansk IPA. Virkelig forfriskende og lćkker. Alkoholen brćnder en smule men pĺ den gode mĺde.

Aug 30, 2009 Bottle from Southbay. Dark gold pour with thick and persistent head. I love persistent head. Aroma is full of Belgian hops, mineral water, and old malt. Flavor is much the same with a dusty fruit/spice to tie it together. I think a better example of the "Belgian IPA’’ than even Houblin Dobbelen.

Dec 9, 2009 A palack óvatos nyitása közben hirtelen az apró résen már igyekezett is kifelé a söröm.Nem lassan hanem mint Usain Bolt a Pekingi olimpián.Gyors nyitás és már a pohárban is van az ital negyede mert a többi részt kitölti a hatalmas méretű kemény hab.Hosszú idő míg sikerül teljesen kitölteni az italt.Színe ködös,narancssárgás,igazi szüretlenes búzás.Illata citrusos,malátás és élesztős.Íze gyümölcsös,édeskés,fűszeres míg be nem törnek a komlók kesernyés zamatai.Minden kortynál egy másik oldalát mutatja a magas komló tartalom.Testes,olajos ital és a nyelvet folyamatosan csiklandozzák az apró buborékok.Utóíze száraz,ami a hosszú lecsengés közben gyümölcsösen és fenyőgyantásan bontakozik ki.Veszélyesen itatja magát.Aki csak az olyan söröket szereti amik nem keserűek az fejvesztve meneküljön!Én maradok ha lehet,kérem tisztelettel...

Oct 2, 2008 Updated: Oct 17, 2008[Bottle] Pours about 20% hazy gold liquid, 80% whitish rocky head. Absolutely massive. Significant noble hop nose, floral honey, orange peel, a bit of bready yeast in there as well. I’m waiting patiently for the head to subside so I can get a taste...
Nice light mouthfeel, plenty of hops, a bit of alcohol in there, but not overpowering, banana, and bready yeast. A mild bitterness finishes off the beer.

Aug 28, 2008 Very nice. Ample head, golden orange color. Super layered nose. Citrus, spice, satisfying. Lingering.

Feb 25, 2009 I think I’ve found my everyday IPA. Pours cloudy gold, persistant head, dissipates slowly. Aroma is llight of citrus and floral notes. The mouthfeel is not potent hoppiness, very well balanced. Lasting citrus after taste. A good beer.
