Chestnut brown with red highlights under an inch of khaki head. The head lasts, leaving islands and then a ring as the beer warms. Etching and streaking all the way down the glass. Very little sediment; the beer is almost clear--just a little hazy.

Hops are more in the earthy-medicinal-astringent line, with some mild sweet malt holding it together. A vague oiled baseball glove smell is there at the end: leather and linseed.

Opens bitter, turns momentarily sweet, and finishes long, dry, and bitter with peppery alcohol at the very end. Satisfying and rich in the mouth and throat: full-bodied. Nicely balanced; complex.

Holds up well: label says June 2010 bottling.

A rich, murky dark orange color.

Frothy off-white head with staying power; thick lacing throughout.

Great citrus nose, touch o' malt on the back end. I'm excited.

Grapefruit & apple juice taste upfront; nice malty backbone.

Thick mouthfeel.

I find that a good Belgian IPA always has a tad of an apple juice factor (see Goose Island Jinx). A bit too bitter & boozy to be exemplary, but I guarantee I'll have another sometime.

Deep amber/orange color when poured with a nice two finger light tan/off white head. Aroma is fruity with notes of grass and pine. Hops dominate the flavor, tons of citrus fruit notes and resiny hops. Some floral/grass notes and the malt is faintly apparent in the background. Hides the ABV pretty well but it is still clear this is a high ABV beer, but not in a bad way. Very smooth, almost creamy finish and medium body and carbonation. Alcohol present at the end of the swallow. A very enjoyable DIPA that I will definitely search out again.

L: Pours brilliant copper-amber crowned by a clingy 2” white to off-white foam cap S: Big grassy nose along with an array of additional hop notes – pine and citrus under the grass with some spice and biscuit.T: Very rich hop flavors. Some initial sweetness but dries out on the finish. A suspicion of mint in the finish (most likely from the hops), also pepper. There is an assertive hop bitterness but it is well balanced with all the hop flavors – the grass, the mint, citris, pine, over the malts and yeast fruit – very well done. F: Very creamy, medium to medium low carbonation, medium body, alcohol warming in the finish O: Very good handling of the hops and a very interesting result.
