Aug 5, 2009 12oz bottle. Since I tend to like my IPAs more than my Belgian ales I found this particular Belgian ale to be quite tasty. The Belgianess of it is a bit more pronounced than the IPAness but it is well done and quite drinkable. These guys seem to do a good job with everything they brew.

Aug 5, 2009 Bottle. Pours a pale golden body with a white head. Spicy spruce earth character, light peach and citrus with a dusty accent. A bitter pine and grapefruit with a hint of pear and lighter spices. Not bad.

Aug 4, 2009 12 oz bottle pours a clear yellow with a thin white head that laces down the glass. Belgian yeasts strong in the nose sweet with some herbal hops. Similar flavors with more citrus and sweetness and a lack of hops to be calling it an ipa. Some very light bitterness, still drinkable and decent.

Aug 4, 2009 Shared with Uncle Steve, Our beer Pimp Brian, taking a break from bagpipe practice was Celtic brew, and plotting to plug up those same bagpipes, Drbayern!
Pours a dark yellow with a white lacy head. The aroma was that of a nice lemon. The mouthfeel was somewhat light for my palate. Hints of citrus (lemon) in the hoppy flavor. Bitterness on back end was nice.

Aug 3, 2009 draft at pizza plant- wow- not really digging the recent trend of belgiying everything- this was an exception- and exceptional- the hops shown through, as tropical fruit flavors and candy coated goodness dominated the flavor profile- and then the yeast did something unique- it complemented the beer. very nice.

Aug 2, 2009 Pours a clear very effervescent golden color with a frothy white head that isn’t very big but has a lot of staying power. Excellent lacing. Aroma has some spicy clove and fruity yeast. A slight peppery lemon as well. The flavor has Belgian sweetness up front, but is followed by a very strong resiny bitter. A little coriander and orange peel. The balance is questionable because you get the flavors for a very short time before the bitter sweeps everything away. The body is sort of creamy on it. Finishes very dry with a warming alcohol. Better than I expected. I appreciate the attempt, but it falls a little short.

Aug 1, 2009 pours a clear yellow-orange with a small white fluffy head that dissipates leaving a good lacing.
smell is of fruit, malt, a touch of caramel, hops in the back, a little spice, and some bubble gum.
taste is tangy, some grain, malt, some fruit, and nutty, ends with a strange aftertaste, dry, and slightly bitter.
