Bottle from HomeBrewStuff. Nice blend of East Coast and Belgian styles, Cali Belgique comes to mind. Pale golden, light haze, big frothy head. Aroma favors the Belgian yeast. Taste is sharp and biting, with mild sweetness. True gender bender here, very well done, tasty and light

Light, golden hued body; very thick, fluffy head. Bready, citrus-like aroma; floral. Soda cracker flavor infused with mild citrus quality; lime; faintly tart; easy sweetness. Gentle and soft on the palate; initially slightly sweet then finishes with a deft dryness.
Soft and sublimely subtle wheat and citrus flavors caress the palate. A wonderfully low-key yet complex beer. A must try...

Enjoyed from the 22 oz bomber in a pint glass. This nice Belgian IPA pours a lightly hazy yellow with a fantastic head of white foam that settles to a thick ring, nice thin layer, and very nice clinging lacing. Nose of subtle wheat, banana, light candy sugars, and light herbal hops. Flavors exceed the nose with subtle candy sugars mixed with nice soft wheat and fresh baked bread. Honey and banana dance about a the middle to back of the taste with a subtle herbal hop note, light lemon drop flavor, and a light dry finish. VERY satisfying for an IPA in the Belgian style with a lightly creamy mouth feel. Excellent. Happy to have tried it!
Cheers

Hazy golden amber with plenty of foam in the Piraat tulip. A creamier carbonation would make this delicious. The yeasty taste is distinctly Belgian, along with the drying sensation. It's a good example of a Belgian IPA, not the American style. Hops are aromatic and subtle, but take the beer into a more interesting realm.
Tangy and fruity with the right balance of sweet malty taste. There is a pleasant floral and citrusy hop flavor. From the 22 oz bottle purchased at Bottlecraft in San Diego. A four-pack of 12 oz bottles would be ideal for this stuff, but it's another fine Victory brew.

Picked up a bomber from TW Arrowhead in mid-September for $4.99. No visible freshness date.
Beer pour a light gold with a nice white head that is leaving lacing behind.
Nose has Belgian a nice earthy fruitiness.
Taste is nicely balanced between the lightly hopped fruity hops and a light malt bill.
Feel is light and refreshing, very nice.
Overall this is a very nice brew that i am glad i had an opportunity to try.
