Pours a slightly fogged gold with minimal head. Nose is strong with a tangerine/nectarine kind of thing. Flavor is beautifully hopped. It seems like the hops are well mixed with the Belgian yeast aspects. You can tell there is 9% alcohol on this one. It is a very slight detractor from the overall, though. Feel is very smooth liquid and nice on the carbonation too. Absolutely amazing beer. You don’t see a lot of IPAs in the Belgian style, but I would consider this an outstanding example. A complete travesty this is not mass produced.

Rating #300. On tap at Rich O’s Gravity Head 2007. I am extremely happy I go the chance to try this beer. I was very excited when I saw it on the Gravity Head lineup. clear light orange with a beautiful big frothy white head. great lacing. juicy orange aroma with nice estery undertones. very balanced lovely bittersweet juicy orange flavor. bitter orange hoppy finish with light estery notes and a nice dose of green hops. medium to full body. beautiful creamy mouth feel. A great very interesting rendition of an IPA. something like a mix of Two Hearted and Hopslam with a nice touch of belgian yeast. well done. fantastic beer.

Orange to amber beer with a fine creramy white foam. Aroma is like a very good full boddied pils with lots of herby and citrussy hops. The beer is malty and very hoppy with lots of caracter. Taste is very tastefull and well in balans. Dry taste with lots of pils-mals and some cara’s, slight citrus accent and perfect selection of hops. Great caracterfull thirst killing beer. Tasted at the ZBF 2007

<i> Draught </i> Good orangey tinted head, leaving textbook lace, over fully hazy orange-ochre beer. Extremely flowery, hoppy nose - this is Garrett and either he’s used masses of superb Europe hops, or a good deal of American ones. Dry and perfumey at the same time. Stunning!. Again very flowery taste, perfumey flavours, with dry, definitely USA-style hops, citrussy, resiny,.. WOW! No new aftertaste, but long lasting flavours. Well-bodied, grist slickness, resiny afterthought, lingering after every sip. Absolutely SUPERB. This is the final accomodation of America to Belgian beer. Love it!
