Pours a hazy golden/orange with a medium thin sudsy white head. Strong aroma of noble hops and Belgian candi sugars and a bittering yeast note with some alcohol. Strong tripe flavor, malty, fruity, and yeasty... the hops are not so extreme. Pretty straight forward with present alcohol. Lighter bodied with plenty of fizzy carbonation that isn’t bothersome as it can be in many Belgians. I prefer houblon.

pours golden with a huge off white head. Aroma is light floral hops, ripe fruit, and belgian yeast. Flavor is sweet malt and belgian yeast at first, the hop bitterness shows up in the finish.

Hazy honey gold hue, with a big frothy white head, leaving some laces, yeasty, fruity nose of pears, peaches and apricots, with a lemon citrusy floral hop accent, with a faint grassiness in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a yeasty, honeyed pale malt character, when the beer gets warmer, it becomes more flowery within a hop citrusy, leading towards a fruity, leafy hop bitterness finish.

cloudy gold pour, slight white head, some lacing. nose of grass, floral hop hints. grainy flavor with fruity notes. kinda bubbly with a bitter end. quite enjoyable, can probably be drunk all night. hides the alcohol well. don’t drink and drive.

On draft at O’Brien’s for CBC/WBC Pours a clear golden orange hue, minimal white lacing sustains, thick lacing on the glass Smell is Belgian yeast, sweet honey, light fruits, and lemony citrus hops, fairly subtle for an IPA Taste is cotton candy and Belgian yeast initially, followed by citrus, light fruits and grassy hops, sweet malts, peppery spices, pine resin, finishes with alcohol and dry bitterness Mouthfeel is medium-bodied, slick and oily texture, moderate carbonation Drinkability is moderate, a well-balanced IPA that is a little light on the the hop presence and bordering on cloying sweetness, the Belgian aspect is a unique twist on the style, overall a solid but unremarkable beer

Poured from a corked belgain bottle. I was really expecting more hops after examining the label. nose shows signs of sugars, expected of a belgian. Hops are obviously more than traditional belgains and slightly spicy. Ignoring the label and just drinking this beer, it is one good beer.
