Aug 12, 2009 Tap at Naked City. Fairly big glass if you ask me. Nice haze orange color. Nice thin head on top. Very good looking beer! Very fruity aroma, with a nice pungent yeast aspect as well. Not much on the hops in terms of aroma. Hops slightly show up as the beer warms, but never to the point of the yeast/fruit aroma. The hops come out more in the flavor as the beer warms, but again the yeast/sugar/fruit flavors dominate. Fairly smooth beer. Glad to have tried this, but I wouldn’t say it is an IPA because the hop profile just doesn’t come out as much as it should, but still a rather delicious beer.

Aug 11, 2009 On tap at Naked City. Pours cloudy orange with a decent off-white head. Aroma is mostly nutty, dusty funk with some banana/clove buried in there. Citrus and grassy hops show up a little bit in the taste, orangey turning to bitter grapefruit in the finish. Still mostly the yeasty Belgian thing than an IPA.

Jul 18, 2009 Tap @ PIB... Poured cloudy orange with a thick, off-white head. Piney, citrus hop aroma. I thought this one was way better than #2. Very thirst quenching for the hot day at the fest. Well balanced citrus hops and a sweet honey character. A nice finished probably from the yeast.

Jul 6, 2009 Draught. Poured murky orange with a white head. Aroma of cloves and citrus. Citrusy flavour with lots of spice and that funky Belgianness one finds in many Belgian beers. Lasting hop finish.
