This beer pours a nice murky golden color. There's a beautiful looking 1 finger, slightly off white head in this beer. I really like the retention here. It's damn good, and the head clings to the glass like superglue.
The nose has a nice, and mellow, pine aroma to me from the hops. There's also a slight funky aroma, from the yeast, going here also, but very slight. The hops are the star of the show.
I get lots of pine in the flavor. I do get a hint of grapefruit as well. These flavors are backed up by a slight, wild funky flavor, coming from the yeast. A hint at a Belgian style here.
This beer does stick in my throat, which I do like in an IPA.
Damn solid beer, and a pleasure to try.

12oz canned 6 days ago poured into a snifter at fridge temp 6.5% ABV 50 IBU. The beer pours hazy, not murky, in a honey amber color with off white head. The head recedes to thick sticky ring and irregular cap. Lots of splotchy lacing. The aroma is moderate in strength featuring grapefruit, pine and spicy yeast. The taste is peppery saison yeast up front with the grapefruit and pine rolling in behind. There's a nice malt backbone with the tiniest hint of toasted malt before the final moderate bitterness. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation and a mostly dry finish. Overall, excellent Belgian IPA. This particular beer melds my favorite parts of American IPA & saison without getting confused or muddled.
