Feb 26, 2009 Pours clear amber with a fluffy white head. Very interesting nose, actiually like a combination of Belgium and Cali with yeast and flowers mingling with pine and grapefruitTaste is very smooth, with a lot of sweet malts up front and a light bitter finish. The strong hop aroma did not translate into the taste, although it was quite drinkable. Medium carbonation and body. An interesting and tasty beer.

Feb 26, 2009 Light golden in color. Savory yeast aromas with very floral, very nice fruit aromas. Hay, lemon, lilac, orange and toast. Slightly bitter on the front of the palate, then fastfading though the finish, when a little bit of bitterness returns. Soft flavors, a pretty IPA.

Feb 25, 2009 Large white head, good retention and plenty of lace. Lightly hazy gold colored brew. Nose is fruity, flowery and spicey with some doughy notes. Body is lightly medium with plenty on co2. Spicey, fruity hoppy flavors, bubble gum notes, peaches, lightly sweet malts with some metallic notes. An almost dry spicey finish. Fuck Ameri-Belgique IPA brews.

Feb 25, 2009 Bottle from City Beer Store in SF. Hell of a nice Belgian IPA. I’d actually put this more on the Belgian Golden Ale side than the IPA side, as the hops did not dominate as much as I expected. Golden color with a somewhat fizzy white head. Aroma is mostly Belgian yeast with banana, and some southwest-style hops. Flavor is more yeast, banana, clove, and a grapefruity hop finish. Lively mouthfeel. A really solid BIPA overall.

Feb 24, 2009 Tap @ Stone Bistro during the RBSG 2008. Poured a very brown mustard color with an effervescent off-white head. Fresh piny and sweaty hop aroma. It smells like a hop sock. Some yeasty notes. The flavor was yeasty and spicy with a big hop middle. Semi-dry hop bitter finish. Spice and pine finish. Warming.

Feb 24, 2009 Bottle shared by aplusbreaks, thanks dude. Poured a bright golden-orange color with a moderate off-white head that faded to a soapy layer. Fruity citric aroma (orange, tangerine, peach skin) with a leafy, lightly bitter hoppiness, some undertones of honey, clove, and a light yeastiness. Smooth, lightly dry entry with some fruity undertones (orange and tangerine, faint banana) lead into a moderate leafy hoppiness paired with a soft spiciness (clove and something else I couldn’t put my finger on) that ends moderately bitter and dry. Moderate carbonation and a decent mouthfeel with a solid bite. I hope to revisit this one at some point.

Feb 24, 2009 Crystal clear amber pour. Lots of bubbles and a thin white head. Yeasty aroma with lots of spice, bubble gum, and clove. Intense bubble gum and banana flavor. Very dry and bitter with a hoppy finish. Very light and drinkable yet full of flavor.
