Nov 24, 2009 Belica has a bright yellow pour with some faint orange hues, gave a white two to three finger head with a decent amount of carbonation,
and left nice lacing on the glass,
aromas of lemon and orange citrus, lemon skin, pale malt, bread, light grass, floral and spices, and a faint fruit sweetness,
flavors of light malt, bread, lemon, floral and citrus hops with little sweetness,
has a citrus-pepper bitterness at the finish which trails a bit thereafter, has a dry finish,
and medium mouth feel, a nice beer.

Nov 20, 2009 12 oz bottle. This is the first Belgian IPA I’ve ever experienced and it seems to mash the two styles together very well. It has the hoppiness and bitterness of a great IPA and that hallmark Belgian taste with definable banana esters. Smells and tastes exactly like what the label describes: a combination of IPA and Belgian-style ale. What a unique combo! I love it. I definitely taste a hint of wood here, too, like pencil shavings or something. Aromas of grapefruit, pine. A worthy experiment.

Nov 14, 2009 20091114 12oz bottle from State Line BBF 11 Apr 2010. Light golden color with small, lingering off-white head. Aroma is full of fruity candy, Juicy Fruit gum, and some floral perfumes. Medium bodied with medium eff. Some light malts up front giving way to a balance of fruit (mixed melon, orange), spice (coriander, clove, black pepper), and vegetal (green pepper, canned bamboo shoots). An okay take on this relatively unique style, but I’m glad to have bought just one bottle.

Nov 1, 2009 Bouteille de 12 oz. Arômes de houblon très citronné, légère touche fruitée (la levure?). Robe dorée et limpide, effervescence moyenne et légère mousse. En bouche, le houblon très citronné est à l’avant-plan. On remarque également des esters fruités de levure et une base maltée moyennement ronde et plutôt sucrée. L’alcool est relativement apparent et la finale moyennement amère. Plus près d’une IPA américaine que d’une blonde belge classique.

Oct 31, 2009 Probably my least favourite from GD. Poured a light yellow. Nose is predominately yeasty with a faint wiff of hops. Mouthfeel is smooth and yeasty. Not as hoppy as expected. Decent drinking, but for the high ABV doesn’t really deliver. Won’t seek out again.
