Jun 3, 2009 Pours out clear golden with lots of foamy head. Taste is sweet and spicey with lots of hops. The Belgian yeast and malt gives it a different twist. Sweet and fruity with nice malty flavor. Crisp and clean finish. Great alternative to the regular IPA.

May 30, 2009 22oz bottle shared generously by footbalm. Pours a clear golden color with a nice foamy white head. The aroma is sweet; lots of hops, some Belgian yeast and malts. The flavor is more hoppy than anything else, which is of course fine with me. A lighter Belgian malt and yeast profile. Overall, a very nice beer.

May 30, 2009 Stone. Gotta love em. I mean, just one great beer after another. Deep gold color with a fluffy head. Citrus notes and a great hoppy bitterness. Overall very smooth. Nothing mind-blowing (for Stone), but this is a solid brew any way you slice it.

May 29, 2009 Gold pour with a huge, rocky, white head and lots of lacing. Nice citrus aroma balanced with bubblegum, yeast, banana, clove, honey, coriander, pepper and bread. Lots of bright citrus and belgian ester flavors with some peppery phenols and a sweet honey biscuit malt background. Sticky, medium-ful body with soft carbonation.

May 28, 2009 Bottle. Pours a clear golden amber with a thick white head. Somewhat complex nose comprised of pine, citrus, toast, malt. Light sweetness, malty with a nice caramel note. Big grapefruit bitterness. Pretty good, and better than I had anticipated.

May 27, 2009 On tap at the bistro/brewery in Escondido. Pours a clear, bright orange body with a very dense, creamy and foamy, finger-width, white head that never completely dissipates and leaves a lot of sticky lacing. Aroma of bright and fresh floral hops as well as a dense, earthy pine. Lots of citrus and fruits from the Belgian yeast strain. Some light caramels as well as a bit of pepper. Smells and tastes just like their IPA with a Belgian yeast strain (obviously). The flavor is pretty damn good. The Belgian yeast adds a nice complexity that isn’t found in the IPA. Still has lots of floral and earthy bitterness, but more sweet and smooth fruits. Basically perfect balance. Finishes very dry with a fruity and long earthy lingering taste. Palate is medium bodied, but very easy drinking for such a flavorful beer. Overall, wonderful. Possibly the best Beglian IPA I’ve had. A great variation on their already amazing IPA.
