Pours a nice golden body, but the head is pretty poor, what starts out soon disappears.
Aroma is strange, initial scent I citrus but it lasts only the first sniff, there after all you get are hops. Still pretty inviting.
Taste is on the sharp side, a touch bitter, malty bitter but seems to be lacking something in the flavour department for me. Seems a bit wishy washy.
Feel is ok, goes down easy enough but does leave a dry aftertaste which is bizarre given it's wishy washy taste.
Overall it's not too bad, not sure this is an IPA despite it's marketing. It is certainly a Belgian Blonde brewed with additional hops, and for note it is now brewed at 5.5% not 6% as originally logged.
Still if you see it, give it a whirl, similar to Leffe Cascade Royale, La Chouffe, but not as good as either.

This is my first ipa ever, so I can not really compare it with something.
It tastes really nice. I expected a really bitter taste, but it tastes really fruity. I bit bitter, but not too much.

33 cl bottle poured into the Duvel tulip
Same brewery as Duvel so Moortgat. A good ipa, cheap and widely available here, but not the best Belgium produce.

From the famous belly bottle an orange bell ipa scented to hay bacon, citrus and some pepper from the famous duck yeast especially refreshing but also caramel sweet, pretty good but also a little boring

The colour is gold-yellow, the liquid is clear. The two finger head is compact and golden, it sinks slowly leaving some fine lacing.
The smell got notes of American hops, hints of roasted nuts and phenolic spices. Some exotic fruits.
The first taste is very bitter. Then, yeasty-spicy phenolic notes emerge with a touch of soap. Light to medium body. Citric peels in the aftertaste as well as yeasty notes that makes me think of witbier. Tart citric acid, caramel and lime in the finish.
The carbonation is strong; the mid-sized bubbles are sharp and long lived. The light liquid is somewhat sharp.
Quite an unbalanced beer, the flavours don’t work well together.

Hazy orange color with a thin head with short retention.
Aroma with notes of tangerines, herbal hops, lots of Belgian yeast, lemon, some mango and honey.
Likewise, flavor with herbaceous and citrusy notes with Belgian yeast, tangerines, candy sugar, mild mango, lemon and sweet flowers. Dry aftertaste with a medium bitterness.
Medium body with appropriate carbonation.
Refreshing and easy to drink Belgian IPA, relatively mild but with a character of its own.
