A really good belgian take on an old school West Coast IPA.

330 ml bottle, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 7.5%. Hazy deep golden colour, large white head. Aroma of tropical fruits, esp. lychee and pineapple. Fizzy mouthfeel. Hoppy flavour, fairly bitter, notes of grapefruit and pine needles, hints of tropical fruits. Good beer, but not as great as the hype made me expect.

 

Pours a hazy orange color with a medium top off white head that dissolves slowly. Aroma is citrus, ripe fruits , tropical fruits, caramel, bread and floral hops. The taste is sweet and fruity at the start with strong tropical fruits notes, while in the background there is a malty caramel presence. It then finishes of with a medium bitterness with notes off floral hops. The aftertaste has a nice lenght. Mouthfeel is smooth and soft with a medium carbonation and a medium body.
A nicely balanced belgian ipa, easy drinking and good.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pours a hazy amber, unfiltered, with an airy two-finger head; it lasts a while and turns into a nice ring, lots of lacing. Smell is orange and mango; some banana, bread and caramel in there as well. Taste is a tad subdued; there's orange and mango too, and citrus, plus some caramel from the malts. A bit grassy. It's not very sweet, somewhat bitter, and maybe a touch too watery. Body is light to medium, with little carbonation. There's pretty much no trace of the 7.5% ABV, which means it drinks way too fast...

Really nice.

 

 

 

Best by:April 2016....so some age on it.Pours into an impy nonic a hazed lighter amber shade with a blooming off white head atop.Some mild green apple and caramel malts in the nose,lightly sour.No in your face hops here,deeply fruity and somewhat sweet with no in your face citric and/or resiny ops,it's on the sweeter side but with a good amount of frutiness to boot.The alcohol creeps and it's not an American style IPA at least my style anyways but it's not a bad beer by any style.Not much Belgian yeast either.
