Belgian-yeast-fermented very pale ale, hopped with our own Cascade hops, grown onsite at Blue Mountain Brewery. Huge citrus hop flavor; spicy, floral aroma.

750 ml cork and caged bottle. 2022 edition

Pours a clear orange goldwn in color, thick layer of creamy head.great head retention. Aroma and taste is a mix of spicy Belgian yeast esters and floral and citrus hops. Bitter finish. Medium bodied.

Cloudy orange beer with a huge slowly fading head. Taste is spicy floral hops and sweet Belgian yeast. Very drinkable and enjoyable. Recommend to try at least once.

Poured a golden orange body with one-finger head and lace ring around glass. Bits of yeast in the aroma underneath citric/orange hop notes and touch of sweet malt. Light-bodied with a bitter citric hop flavor and slightly acidic body on some sips. Bits of tropical fruit flavors and yeast in beer as well but hops seem to overpower and leave beer a bit of a dry "hot mess".

On tap at the Barrel House on Thursday of the cancelled Lockn' shows. Nice and clean with a refreshing aftertaste. Dark tan/orange color. Some nose with great clean minor bite. Somewhat hoppy. My wife would drink this one.

Pours hazy bright yellow with one inch head. Taste is lemon, tangerine, and herbal hops at the end. Above average Belgian IPA. Not a bad beer, but not sure if I would get this one again.

Pours copper with a very foamy thick off-white head. The belgian yeast is forefront in both the aroma and taste as well as fermented grapes. Unfortunately, I was not able to digest this beer, but I think it is solid for the style.
