I tried this at Green St. Grill in Bensenville, IL whilst there for my son's hockey tournament. It poured a clear yellow with white head that did not leave much lace. The scent had Belgian spice hop. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with citrus fruit and clove spice hints. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall its a decent beer.

Taste: crisp, herbal, fruit notes, maybe coriander in the spice, bready yeast, tropical citrus hops. Same with the nose. Amber hue, hazy a bit, white foamy head with ring of lattice. would pair well with Pizza. 35 IBUs

Had on draft 6/17/17.
Pours a hazy apricot, with a one inch quickly dissipating foamy head and some thin, soapy lacing. Aromas of Belgian yeast, some pine, pineapple, some grapefruit and orange, light mango, malt, spices, some black pepper when warm. The taste is grapefruit, orange, more pineapple than the nose, some Belgian yeast, some pine, light malt, lighter spices. A mild hop bitterness throughout, a little sweet. Smooth, a good medium body, well carbonated.
Pretty good take on a Belgian IPA. It’s fairly hopped up, but the yeast is strong enough to retain the Belgian presence. Well balanced, but malt beats hops by a little. Well worth a purchase.
