In draft at Left Coast Kitchen, Merrick, NY.
Poured a slightly hazy dark straw hue with a one finger foamy white head. There was good retention and lacing.
The smell featured an herbal hop and a mild yeast ester.
The taste consisted of a full herbal hop spice with a subtly sweet malt and a touch of cleansing lemon zest.
The mouthfeel was toward the neater side of the style.
Overall a very well made and tasty hop forward Belgian pale ale.

32 ounce growler filled at Decicco's in Ardsley, NY
Pours hazed darker orange amber, moderate off white head, quickly goes to a fine film and thicker collar. leaves moderate strands of fine lacing.
Yeasty, phenolic nose, with ripe citrus and a hint of bubble gum.
Fresh, fruity and flavorful with better then average complexity exhibited. Notes of lime, Belgian yeast, grapefruit, apricot all picked up. Drying and again fresh tasting hops develop in the finish. Nice brew. Carbonation could be stepped up just a notch IMHO. Worth a try.
