Nose is dry and spicy Belgian yeast tones. Very crisp and nice bitter hop finish. Nice spice note from the yeast. I really love this beer, could drink it all day. Nice mix if IPA / Belgian styles. The yeast / taste profile reminds me of IPA’s I’ve made using Chouffe yeast. Good stuff golubj (1287), Sunnyvale, California, USA
