This beer poured a cloudy copper color and formed a nice foamy snow white head that left latticed lace as it subsided. A medium amount of carbonation is present. An aroma of malt, herbal, grain and citrus. The flavor was of malt, bread, hops and pepper. The body was medium light and the finish slightly bitter. Not a bad beer and typical of Belgian IPA attempts.

Pours a hazy orange color with a huge, spongy white head.

Smells of floral herbs and toffee malts, together with a hint of fruity oranges and bread crust.

Has a medium carbonation level with a light, refreshing body to it, which makes this highly drinkable.

Tastes of herbal orange zest, dried lime peel and lots of white bread dough. Turns more lemon forward, once sweeter toffee malts come up. Finishes with a light lemon bitterness and more toffee malts.

Has a light and refreshing interplay of pleasantly nuanced hops, sweet malts and a light mouthfeel.

From the bottle, it pours a hazy orange-amber with a large, thick, just off white head that ever-so-slowly dissipates. Light scent of some fruit and malt. Taste follows nose and has a pleasant aftertaste.

Pours a deep orange-amber colour, with medium head and good retention. Sediment is present. It keeps a layer and a compact lace. Lots of bubble exploding. Aroma of tropi9cal fruits, clove, oranges, chocolate. Medium t light body, cider like palate, good carbonation. Taste of chocolate, oranges, vanilla, spices. Strange, kind of a cross between an IPA and an Weissbier.

L: pours a orange cloudy color. A Good top of head that disolves quickly. Decent lacings on the glass.

S: fruity and floral smell. I sense herbs, citrus fruits, light malts,floral hops and spices

T&F: it starts of fruity with light sourness in the background,I sense light malts and spices in the middle. It finishes of with hoppy bitterness in the finish and the aftertaste I also sense some sourness in the aftertaste. I personally think the taste could be more balanced,but I also like the fruity profile on this beer

O: an good and easy drinking beer, refreshing taste. Ipas is not my favorite but this one was good I think
