Draft pour into a tulip glass. Pours a medium golden amber with a half finger white head with good retention and lacing. Aroma of Belgian yeast, candi and pale malt, apple and mild light stone fruit, clove and light grassy hops. Flavor has a nice Belgian character with clove and yeast. The hops are mild, but meld well with the clove; the profile is a lot like a tripel, but with a little hop character. Medium bodied with light creaminess and good carbonation. Not a traditional Belgian IPA, which are often more clearly hoppy, but a fine Belgian ale and perfect with my lunch.

Slightly hazy dark gold color. Sweet floral malt aroma. A bit of bite on the taste, with some of the fruitiness of a Belgian Pale Ale.

Nice and cloudy. Fun head. Banana notes on the nose. Slight citrus (orange) flavors. Pretty mild. Slight piney flavors. Belgian IPA. Hoppy but not too intense.

Had a great Dry-hopped version at Washington Belgianfest. Rather tasty and a nice departure from the Abbey and Tripel offerings there. Good IPA in the Belgian vein overall.

I had this on-tap in a tulip glass at the brewpub on Lake City Way.
Appearance: medium gold hue with plenty of haze. Head is a finger of creamy ivory foam with good retention and a thorough lace. Great!
Smell: lightly sweet and lightly funky aroma; hops are fruity which complements the subtle yeast character nicely.
Taste: a little bit of funk makes this almost saison-ey. Hops are citrusy, which complements the funk well. Relatively strong bitterness rounds things out.
Mouthfeel: medium body with a light carbonation. Decent enough.
Overall: a decent Belgian-inspired IPA. I could see myself drinking this again.

Finisher of the night
A - Served a nice cloudy medium orange with a light fan head.
S - Hoppy grass and old oranges.
T - Similar to the smell, but again more malt forward.
D - Good carbonation and body.
O - The second best beer I had tonight, which isn't saying much. Good overall feel and drinkability.
