Tap @ BSP. !st Annual WetHop Fest. Amber color. dry, fruity aroma. Scents of wood. nice malt. Smooth and creamy. crisp, nice english style, malted ipa. finishes with an earthy bitterness. very sessionable. 7,5,8,5,16

Appearance: Pours an amber-copper body displaying great clarity and sporting an inch of whitish foam. Smell: Earthy, spicy-toned hops in the fore, though, some glass swirling upon the bar scares up some hints of raw graininess and notes of apples and clove. Taste: The maltiness predominately tastes of mild sweet pale malts. A shot of Irish Breakfast Tea introduces a pervasive earthy hop character. Medium-light bitterness. Vague hints of spice-strewn apples slices. The finish is both dry and lightly bitter. Mouthfeel: Medium-light body. Medium-bodied. Drinkability: Sure, it’s an acceptable beer and all, but it doesn’t particularly jump out at you as either an India Pale Ale or a Belgian-influenced beer.

Draft at WBF Durham. Called Georgi-Belgique on the sign. Amber pour with a short white head. Nose is spicy with yeast, citrus peel, flowers and dried fruit. taste is more dusty yeast and spice notes. Some lighter citrus. Flowers and dried fruit with sweet malt. Body is medium with soft carbonation. Ends with more spiciness, Belgian yeast, flowers and citrusy hops with dried fruit and candied fruit notes. Not bad at all!

WBF. Pours a translucent golden yellow with a one finger white head. The nose is citrusy, light yeast presence, fruity hop character. Flavor is citursy, grapefruit rind, yeasty funk, fruity, medium bitterness. Nice belgian IPA.

Tap at the brewpub. Hazy orange pour with a thick creamy head. Aroma is citrus hops and Belgian spiciness. Taste is smooth malt, Belgian phenols and big citrus hop bitterness. Kind of a mutt of styles and I think it kind of works.

On tap at the brewpub. Murky medium orange pour, with a frothy white head. Bubble gum like aroma - nice and fresh. Flavor has some clove accents, a bit of bubble gum, some candi sugar accents and good ester notes. Mouthfeel is slightly thick but turns a bit metallic near the end.
