The beer pours a dark gold colour with a creamy off-white head that lasts a few minutes. Very lively in the chalice. The aroma is tropical citrus fruits, light spices, grains, and yeast. More Belgian than IPA in my opinion. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with slightly above average carbonation. The flavour is more IPA than Belgian with the tropical fruit notes front and centre before giving way to grass and a hint of yeast. A very good beer.

Thanks to Chopz for picking this one up. Pours a massive frothing off-white head and has a golden appearance. Excessive carbonation. Big soapy lace. Aromas of yeast, floral and grassy hops, pine. Flavours are quite hoppy, lots of floral and citrus notes, pine and yeast as well. A little bit of grapefruit, mild spices and subtle tropical fruit hints in the finish. Full body. Good retention. Slight drying mouthfeel. Faint tart notes also. Pretty good overall.

Pours a hazy bright golden colour with a big slight off-white, frothy head with some creamy-foamy notes, very good retention and foamy lacing. Beautiful fresh piney, citrusy hop nose with some sweetness from the Belgian Ale yeast. Kind of like a Saison, very nice. The taste as well has light resemblance, with the IPA hoppiness, grassiness and smoothness of the Belgian yeast. I really like this one... and will have again.
