Pours cloudy dark honey coloured into a tulip. White head lingers for ages.

You can immediately smell the sweetness and the barrel o' hops in this IPA. It has a honey like aroma which is unexpected.

Hops, hops, hops with a dewy, honey like sweetness amongst - almost like the dry hopping has unlocked a new aromatic syrup. There's leafy freshness, elderflower, nectar, grass, slight pine and biscuit before it finishes on woody hop bitterness. For all the different flavours there is a lime peel quality, some pear and fellow bright fruit in the aftertaste which gives it a refreshing crisp quality.

Feel is light, slightly oily, with good levels of carbonation. End is dry.

This is a nice hoppy IPA; perhaps I'm being tongue-blind but I'm not detecting the Belgian influence in this ale, perhaps the yeastiness is hiding under the hops. Still, a great beer.
