Jul 7, 2009 Bottle from the rake, had at home. Alround rating: Pale sweet malt small candy suagr notes, bit of wheat, corriander and spicey belgian yeast, some orange peel and clove notes, decent carbonation. Alright stuff but perhaps lacking a wow factor.

Jul 7, 2009 bottle 35,5 cl. Pours a clear golden with a small white head and an aroma that reminded me of a hefeweizen at first. The taste is high on hops, with notes of herbs, fruits, citrus fruits, white bread and alcohol. Just a nice beer

Jul 6, 2009 12oz bottle from Total Beverage in Westminster, CO. Pours a clear straw gold, with a finger of white head continuously fed by champagne-like bubbles.
Aroma of yeast, spice (coriander?), and pine tar. Tastes like biscuit dough (lots of that yeast strain) with a twist of spice at the end. Drying finish, mildly strong carbonation.

Jul 6, 2009 12 ounce bottle in Grimbergen goblet (first time using this glass). Golden with quickly dissipating dense white head (could be the glass) and nice lace. Lemon pastry with yeasty spicy grassy aroma. Sweet lemony bready with medium fresh hop bitter dry finish. Nice soft mouthfeel and nice, lively carbonation. What can I say? I’m still a sucker for Belgian IPA. Delicious.

Jul 5, 2009 Bottle. Pours hazy corn gold, white head. Aroma is spicy, musty and funky. Flavor is spicy, white grapes, and hoppy. I rather like the tangy (not sweet at all) somewhat sour bite of the white grapes. I’m supposing that must be due to the type of hops? This is a unique beer and is pretty darn bitter and smooth.
