Gnomes love a friendly rolling race, which inspired them to roll together the lemongrass and clove esters from Belgian yeast with citrus and stone fruit notes from Amarillo and Zamba hops, then round things out with white grape and floral notes from Motueka dry hops. This crisp and effervescent Belgian-style IPA (or Hoppy Saison) is mildly bitter and complexly fruity with a nice dry finish. It'll have you racing for more!

Hazy orange appearance with a large white head that left good lacing. Yeasty aroma with notes of lemon, tropical fruit and stone fruit. Floral, herbal hops help nail the taste alongside the fruity profile. Bitterness is nominal. Finishes on a vinous note. Decently carbonated, medium bodied mouthfeel. Very good representation of the style.

Cloudy straw, big white head, amazing retention, sturdy rings of lacing
Banana, apricot, grassy, citrus, floral, herbal, and earthy/spicy aromas in harmony. Hard to tell when yeast stops and hops start.
Honey-like malt transitions into a sublimely fruity/spicy yeast hit and then waves of complex citrus/floral/fruity hops. So intertwined that you can't really tell what is flavor is coming from what. Yeast and hops aren't just complimenting each other; they are making love on a bed of malt.
Light bodied and effervescent. Wouldn't believe this is 7.5%.
Possibly the best beer Silver Branch has done. Possibly the best Belgian IPA I've had. Probably the best beer I've had in recent memory.
