Sep 2, 2009 Bottle [12oz]. Pours a clear, bubbly yellow-gold with an average size somewhat-lasting fluffy white head. Aroma of yeast and hops -- floral, citrusy and a bit herbal and spicy, along with some light sugary sweetness -- I quite like these Belgian / IPA combos. Flavour is hoppy, yeasty and fruity along with some bread, herbs and spices and a slightly iffy finish -- not sure what it is about the finish (spices? Alcohol?) that I don’t particularly care for. Alcohol is a tad noticeable. Medium bodied. Not the best of these Belgian IPA type beers but still pretty good, I’d gladly drink it again.

Aug 31, 2009 On tap at the brewery on 7/18/09. Pours clear gold with super bubbly head and nice lacing. Banana is the sole aroma that dominates this beer. Nice bitter and yeast flavor with a hint of sour. A bit too long of a finish.

Aug 23, 2009 Doesn’t seem that far off from the Belgian hoppy beers I’ve tried. Aroma is rich fruit and orange with a slider of yeast funk. Pours golden with a hint of edge and produces a white top of quick fizz. Sharp and edgy on the tongue. Fruity and hoppy - a Belgian IPA it is. Nice job GD

Aug 23, 2009 Bottled @The Rake.
Yellow color decent white head. Sticky fruity yeasty aroma with peach and mango. Finish is a bit dry yeasty. Mango, peach belgi-yeast flavors. Stylish Belgian - actually closer to "Belgian Belgians" than "American Belgians".

Aug 22, 2009 Short-lived small white head; clear yellow-golden beer. Potato peel, starch (??), strange yeast notes. Again potato peel in the taste ( I hope they’re at least Bintjes, with that name ), fresh hopsacks, weird malt notes, like chewing fresh dry malt in a brewery, and again lots of yeasty esters. Sticky (hopoils?), medium bodied, dry. Unbalanced, American hops fighting the Wyeast that is supposed to be Belgian. Many thanks to Glenn & Davy for offering me free, what the barman @ Delirium Café refused to sell.

Aug 22, 2009 Clear pale golden color. Aroma is basically of yeast and hops. It has a little bit of a citrus undertone. Taste of yeast, wheat, and hops. I can pick up a little bit of cloves. Not much of a bite in this though. Nothing special about this one.

Aug 21, 2009 clean white head on this unbalanced highly flavorful and demonstraive brew. coriander and clove to start and then comes a hop profile presented in orange and the best of its kind to my knowledge. mildly slick and refreshing with a chalk that is barely there and as i prefer it this is a must try and a damn good beer with its rye malt harshness that i adore!
