Apr 16, 2009 Pours golden-copper with fluffy head. Aroma of candied sugar, Belgian yeast, orange peel, slight hop bitterness, mango, and pineapple. Flavor is somewhat spicy, somewhat yeasty, somewhat hoppy- like a a less fantastic hobblen chouffe. Nice bit of bitterness at the end with some great floral notes. I feel as though the hops cut through the yeastiness, and they compete rather than complement each other. Not a bad beer by any means, just not quite as good as the chouffe version. Creamy palate with lively carbonation.

Apr 13, 2009 22oz bomber, no date. Aroma of fruity Belgian banana yeast and candi sugar, with a good dose of citrus and tropical fruit hops behind. A tinge of alcohol is noted. Clear caramel orange with a small off-white head, fading to a tattered film and thin ring. Flavor is a little more spicy with some alcohol, though the Belgian and American characteristics otherwise are about the same as the aroma, the the caramel malts turn a little flat, and there’s a little grassiness to the hops toward the finish, which is dry with bitterness around a 4-5. Low carbonation with a medium body. Pretty good beer--this hybrid style is rockin’ when they’re on.

Apr 10, 2009 Bottle. Clear light amber with medium, creamy white head with lace. Yeasty, sweeter aroma with nice hop presence, very spicey. Medium sweet, spice, medium bitterness, pine, cascade citrus, frutiness, yeast. Medium body with active carbonation and creaminess. This is the closest thing to pipedream I have ever had. And I thought we were so unique...

Apr 7, 2009 Tastes like the regular ipa but with a unique belgian twist. I prefer this to the regular ipa. The slight spiciness makes it more interesting.

Apr 5, 2009 Bottle. Amber beer with a strong head. The aroma is very well hopped and dry, and the flavour is vinous, and hopped with a sweet and then heavily dry finish. Overall a good beer.
