Pour fine; nice colour and a full head that lasts. First taste is slightly sweet and tropical, though not a full on citrus, more subtle like guava. Finishes with a satisfying bitterness. Mouth fell is mellow, neither light or cloying.

Can. Produced for Beer52 at a lower ABV of 6.5%. Cloudy gold with a frothy head which settles to a scum.
Smells hoppy and yeasty. Some spice and hop flowers are also there.
Sweet at the front. The spice remains along with dough. Bitter finish.
Moderate carbonation and body.
Would I appreciate it more at 7.5% ABV?

Pours golden amber, big head, nice to see the little blobs of yeast swirling around the bottom of the glass. Aromas of yeast and slight banana with some botanicals. Taste follows nose, bar the florals. Slight sharpness initially. Really smooth example of a B.I.P.A. I like it.

Cloudy, bright amber appearance with a large, off white head and good lacing. Aroma is sweet and yeasty at first, but soon fades to floral hops. Taste is not as sweet as the nose might indicate. Some spiciness, some soft fruitiness, along with a more herbal hop flavor play well with the smoothness of the yeast and bready malts. Finishes on a slightly bitter, fruity note. Well concealed abv.

75 cl bottle, cold in a tulip glass. Started with the aperitif, and through dinner with it.
Colour is a hazy deep gold, with tinges of orange.
There is little to no smell, mostly yeast and this was probably what disappointed me the most about this beer.
The taste is definitely a solid Belgian number with malt and yeast again being prominent, with a hint of bitter hops that grows as you go down the glass. It felt good in the mouth, with a high level of carbonation. Be careful how you pour, the head on this is a monster.
Overall it was a solid Belgian IPA. Not a standout brew, but a very pleasant one that I will be happy to buy again.
