12 oz. Bottle
Don't really know much about this beer other than the fact that my friend John told me this was a must try.
"This Belgian Style IPA is an "out of the box" convergence of beer styles where American Imperial IPA meets Belgian Trippel" - Beeradvocate.com description.
Pours an orange/amber hybrid with visible carbonation and some sediment floating throughout. About an inch of slightly off-white head that dissolves into about an eighth of an inch after very little time. Hoppy, grapefruit, honey, citrus, clove sweetness on the nose. Tons of white grape too, bordering on white wine/champagne territory. Really pleasant smelling.
Tons of white grape on the taste - complemented by a bit of spice, a little sour/tart, and a good amount of sweetness. It's really tough to pick out the individual flavors - there's definitely some strong tangerine, grapefruit, and apricot as far as fruit goes in here, a good amount of piney hop on the back end as well. There's a bready, Belgian quality to the beer as well (though I'm not really getting any banana, and only the slighted bit of clove in the taste). Really complex, flavorful experience, though I do worry there might be too much going on in here. Moderately high carbonation. ABV of 9.2% is very well hidden (though you can taste a small amount of alcohol on the back end).
Definitely a nice beer to kick back with and relax on any night. Even with the crazy complexity of this beer, the flavors seem to work well together.
Overall Rating: 4.25/5
