Commercial Description:
This non-traditional hoppy belgian ale is a tribute to our second year in business. With an abv of around 9% and a nice hop finish, you'll wonder where that year went!

Amber with a thin white head. Light yeastiness, citrus, light hops. Taste is a light yeastiness with caramel, and alcohol. Seems more like a belgian strong, but a good beer.

(handbottle from irishboy.thanks!)nice copper colored body with a small white head.as the head rests it leaves nice lacing on the glass.the aroma blends up jasmine,belgian yeast,pine hops,cotton candy,and allspice.flavor is much of the same with a medium mouthfeel.alcohol is well hidden.

Draft at the Brewpub and a two growlers at my house; Nose of light spices (nutmeg, cloves, allspice) and light flowery and citrusy hops; lightly hazy orange-gold with a medium yellowish head; flavor is a combo of light hoppy bitterness, spiciness, pepperiness, and a little caramel and candi-sugariness; finish is moderately bitter with a spicy haze on the tongue! A Belgian spiced DIPA!
