On tap at Volo, 400ml pour into a tulip.
Poured an unfiltered orange with some slightly darker shades of the same colours, minimal lace and a thin collar. Nose has some Belgian yeast, tropical fruits - peach, nectarine, pineapple. Yeast lends an interesting spice character that's subtle in the finish. Tad of alcohol. Taste has some unripe peach, apple and more general unripe tropical notes, a shift from the fresher characteristics I got on the nose. Lightly yeasty and a hint of the spice I got in the nose - perhaps a touch herbal. Low-medium carbonation and medium weight. A somewhat underwhelming BIPA, but still decent on the whole.

Beer is a very murky looking light amber colour. Lots of lacing. Small white head.
Smell si full of hops and Belgian yeast. A slight citrus scent, a bit of soap and some pine.
Hops come through clearly in the taste. Fairly bitter. Pine and a bit of citrus. Light fruit flavours typical of a Belgian pale are present as well. Very slightly funky. Pine is most noticeable at the end, with a nice slight sweetness. Quite good.
Beer is highly carbonated. Medium bodied. A bit irritating, otherwise a nice feel.
Pretty enjoyable beer- a success in my view!
