Gr8fulTed (3), Leawood, Kansas, USA does not count | 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 30, 2009 The Belgica looks great upon pouring, a dark gold. The flavor is an interesting blend of the piney hops,with a little citrus perhaps, then bolstered by the belgian yeast and malt barley taste. It’s a bit heavy for me. Like the rater from Eliz City, I visit GD’s taproom whenever I visit Denver, si better beers will come. thewolf (5831), Kolding, Denmark

Grand Tasting @ The Harlequin, Sheffield.
Pours clear golden with a frothy, white head. Aroma has light piney hops, yeast and fruitiness. Fat mouthfeel, medium carbonation. Flavour is sweet, biscuity malts, piney hops and a light, light aftertaste with a little spice (coriander). WeeHeavySD (3041), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 29, 2009 12oz bottle from Norms in Vienna VA. Pours golden with a bright white head. Nose is sweet, light and crisp with notes of biscuits. Taste is sweet, lemony and bitter. Lots of resinny hops in here. Interesting, tasty but not unbelievable. nearbeer (1878), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jul 28, 2009 12 oz. Pours a clear gold with a small ring of bubbles that lasts. Aroma is strong resin, light citrus and bubblegum. Flavor is big resin, lemon honey and light bubblegum.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 28, 2009 12 oz. bottle from Coasters. Pours golden with a foamy white head. The label doesn’t lie; big notes of mostly lemon and Belgian yeast. Taste is mostly citrus with some Belgian Ale flavor. My guess is this is Great Divide’s attempt at a Spring/Summer Ale with a Belgian twist. It’s not bad, but it’s not really my thing. I had hoped for more given the name and my high regard for this brewery. jjuf1853 (482), Land O Lakes, Florida, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 27, 2009 Draft at Blind Tiger (Greenwich Village, NYC). Great hop and yeast aroma and flavor. Love the concept here of infusing the Belgian and IPA styles. I’m surprised by the low average as I really enjoyed this one. Nice amount of bitterness in the finish. Tasty! altonbrownd (1962), Amsterdam, Netherlands
