Bottle. Golden color with a white head. The taste is a sweet body with a very light hoppy note. Rather boring

Bottle - sampled at the RBESP 2005
Slightly sour, citric aroma. Cloudy yellow amber, low creamy head. Citrus, yeast, veggie, a bit peach. Lightbodied. Wasn’t too impressed.

An immedieate head that soon dwindles. Smoky taste that owershadows the hoppy aroma you expect from an IPA. A lasting, sourish aftertaste.

Bottle at RBESG Grand Tasting, August 2005. Orange colour. Oddly, I thought this smelt a lot like the same brewery’s Ardenne Blond, which I sampled at the same time. There are hops in there, but they are not that assertive. On the palate there’s a lot more malt than expected and, again, the hops don’t deliver a weighty enough punch. Promising, but needs more work.

Hazy pale golden, nice creamy white head. Hoppy and somewhat fruity aroma. Flavor is grassy hoppy, a bit spicy and fruity. Hoppy dry and metallic finish.

Hazy orange beer with a big foamy off white head. Hoppy bitter aroma with a fresh lemon note. Light sweet malty flavor with the taste being more hoppy and fruity towards the end. Long dry finish.

Cloudy orange with a big egg-white head that is long-lasting. Yeasty bread aroma, not very typical of the style, but nice. Very bitter, but still with a sweet malty background. Hints of apples. Full-bodied, lively. Dry finish. Somehow the flavour reminds me more of a full-bodied Belgian blond ale.However, the bitterness definitely brings me back to an Indian pale ale, maybe drunk a bit too young?

Bottled, (#4) Pours a hazy, golden colour, with a large, small-bubbled, beige head. Aroma is mostly fruity with malt. Quite mild taste for an IPA. Citric/orange tastes dominates at start. Hop-bitterness comes stronger at the end, but not as biting as I shold wish for. More an english IPA than the american type i for some reason expected. (051006)
