rickgordon (3073), Göteborg, Sweden May 15, 2008 Bottled. Thanks to ante.
Hazy yellow colour, with quite some floaties. Yeasty, citric, hoppy aroma with notes of orange peel. Creamy mouthfeel. Alcohol is sensed first. Hoppy bitter from start to finish. Bit salty in finish.
puzzl (1823), New York, New York, USA Oct 9, 2008 Bottle. Wow, why is this so low? Quite solid IMO. Absolutely beautiful pour, very cloudy sand color with an amazing head, rivaling that of Houblon Chouffe. Nice American hops in the aroma with a fair bit of funky Belgian yeast. Doughy and fresh. Wonderful body, lots of Belgian spices, pumpkiny, with some big, brash hoppiness backing it up in the finish. Very yellow hops. Easy drinking for 10%. A solid offering all around. smith4498 (384), Miami, Florida, USA Oct 8, 2008 Pours hazy golden color with huge rocky white head. Bready aroma with lots of alcohol and some hops. Citrus flavor with bitter hops and a slight medicinal taste. Yeast dominates. Medium body with lively carbonation. I’ll stick with American DIPAs. BeerBiker (1209), Odense, Denmark Oct 6, 2008 Muddy golden yellow with creamed head. Oranges, fruits, belgian yeast in hybrid with hops, hops, hops. Strange, but it works a bit. Anyway it’ll not be my first beer! Ober (403), Best, Netherlands Oct 4, 2008 A very hazy yellow/orange colored beer, with a huge white foamed head. The aroma is a little hop, with spices, and fruits like lime and orange. There are several spices which are not combine. It makes it very medical. The taste don’t makes it better, even not if the beer is getting warmer. It stays medical with a prevailing of spices like nutmeg and pepper.
