Jun 26, 2009 Pours bright gold into a tulip. White head quickly recedes leaving no lacing to hug rim. Dusty orange and aspirin aromas. Peppery and dry with upfront aspirin and a lasting orange citrus hop finish.

Jun 26, 2009 12oz bottle from grape & gourmet. pours a clear, light yellow gold with a thin, whispy white head and solid lacing. aroma is solid with belgian yeast and cloves with hints of green apple and banana. flavor is a very good balance of citrusy hops, bold belgian spices, hints of earthy grass, and light, toasted malts with a touch of sugar. palate is crisp and refreshing with a lingering, dry finish. overall, a decent take on the hoppy belgian ale.

Jun 26, 2009 Sampled draft at HopCat (Grand Rapids, MI). Pours a clear golden straw pour, clear, with big cakey white head that laces well sticks around big. Aromas are lightly belgian spice, light apple and pear fruit, and a touch of staleness. Initial is light in body, tastes a bit stale and like steamed vegetables. Light belgian fruitiness, yeast. Not bad, a little distracting.

Jun 24, 2009 Pale gold, slightest haze. Rough thick white head. Cottony aroma, some strawberry and some light airy Belgian yeast. Flavor is sweetpea, dry tripel yeast, unique, and not great, though a bit strange.

Jun 23, 2009 12oz. bottle to a Czech pils glass. Poured a clear golden color with a white foamy head that reduced quickly to a bubbly layer but left some curtains of lacing. The aroma was Belgian yeast which usually brings some spice along with it, citrus, and smooth malt. The flavor adds some nice, appropriate bitterness. Decent brew, however, my nose is not totally sold on the introduction of the Belgian yeast to a solid American IPA.

Jun 21, 2009 Experienced on tap in an elongated tulip glass. The aroma smelled of burnt rubber. Once you force yourself past that, the palate is a combination of hot alcohol and harshly bitter hops. A total catastrophe. Poured it down the drain.
