Apr 27, 2008 Bottle: Pours a hazy copper with a small one finger tan head. The aroma is sweet, somewhat toffee like with a hint of the hops you would expect in an American IPA. This IPA is malt driven for sure. There is a sweet almost caramel character to this beer. I also feel like I get a bit of smoke? The mouth feel is medium-heavy and lingers for awhile. This is a good beer but it doesn’t fit the style. Never a bad thing to try something new.

Apr 26, 2008 Interesting blend of styles, sweet Belgian and hoppy IPA. Deep Amber, creamy white head. Malty, hoppy, sweet nose. Big and rich, mouthcoatnig. Sweet, bitter, hoppiness, balanced with that malty sweetness form the sucre. Long finish. I think I prefer my IPA’s clean, and by Belgians sweet, neither the twain to meet.

Clear amber, thick pale head. Caramel malty aroma with strong and fresh fruity hops. Quite sweet and intense, a bit piney even. Flavor is sweetish caramel malts, spicy liquorice, orange and citric fruity hops. Strongly bitter finish. Full bodied, very smoothly carbonated palate. Hops balance the sweetness nicely, excellent! (edit: corrected from draught to bottle.)

Apr 13, 2008 Bottle. Pours a slighlty hazy amber with a pretty average head. Aroma of citrusy hops, malt, and honey. The flavor is a little weird, very malty sweet for an IPA, but excellent hop flavor also. There is not any real discernable bitterness to balance the malt, but as I said, excellent hop flavor. I don’t taste the advertised 100IBU in this beer. It could stand a little more bitterness hops, but it is very enjoyable regardless. Also, this is a tweener to me, slightly bigger than an IPA, but not really an IIPA.
