Pours cloudy, with a moderate head. Smell is oranges, strawberries, a hint of melon or squash and sweet malt. The aroma is a little subdued. Taste is like aroma but stronger. Very smooth, with not much bitterness in the finish. Mouthfeel is light and dry, typical IPA.

I have some experience with Belma; it's difficult to make a standout beer with just this hop. The brewer did a great job here, given the limitations of a single hop beer.
