Poured from a 12 oz. can (red dot for age?) into a pint glass. Golden, slight haze with three fingers of persistent foam, extensive lacing. Scent of apricots and citrus. Tangerine initial taste fades into citrus hops; hoppy aftertaste transitions to a peppery finish. Light, smooth mouthfeel. Two thumbs up!

Pours a dark gold color with a foamy head that lasts quite a while. Aroma of tangy citrus and pine. Taste is also tangy, slightly citrus and on the bitter side. Crisp and dry.

12 ounce can into tulip glass, no can dating. Pours slightly hazy deep golden amber color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, red apple, melon, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, pine, light banana/clove, cracker, white bread, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/earthy hops, fruity/spicy yeast, and moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, red apple, melon, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, pine, light banana/clove, cracker, white bread, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Moderate pine, citrus rind, herbal, floral, grassy bitterness; and peppery yeast spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, red apple, melon, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, pine, cracker, white bread, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/earthy hops, fruity/spicy yeast, and moderate pale malt flavors; with a nice malt/bitterness and yeast spiciness balance. Mild lingering hop astringency after the finish, but not overwhelming. Moderate increasing dryness from bitterness and yeast spiciness. Medium-high carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, moderately crisp, bready/grainy, and sticky/resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. No warming alcohol for 6.7%. Overall this is as delicious Belgian IPA. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/earthy hops, fruity/spicy yeast, and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and pretty refreshing to drink, despite the fairly aggressive bitter/spicy/resinous/drying finish. Great balance of vibrant/dank/earthy hops and Belgian yeast complexity; solid pale malt backbone, no residual sweetness from bitter/spicy dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.
