Was lucky enough to try this at the Black Sparrow in Lafayette, IN. It was a cloudy amber in color and had a slight creme colored head. It smelled extremely hoppy. If I didn't know any better I'd say it smelled like a DIPA. I didn't detect any yeast or anything similar to a standard Belgian. It had excellent flavor. It was sweet and ultra hoppy and pretty floral. It was medium bodied and had good carbonation and was crisp. This was an excellent Belgian IPA, and an Imperial at that. This was a great beer. I say GI should bottle it.

The color is a rich ruby that is clear.

The aroma has a good hop character with some Belgian yeast.

The taste is good at first. It has a pop of papaya and then a big malt backbone. However, there's a cloying aftertaste. It hides its alcohol well and it's a decent beer, but I prefer the "real" Belgian IPAs.

Draft at The Pour House in Westmont, NJ.

Pours a dark golden orange color with tangerine edges and a one finger off-white head that slowly fades into a lasting ring.  Streaks of soapy lace left behind.

Aroma dominated by estery Belgian yeast and pale malts.  Surprisingly not very hop forward with slight floral and pine needle character.   Lots of bread, light fruit and biscuity malt in the nose.

Medium bodied and again, surprisingly lightly hopped considering the description.  Subtle floral hops presence along with some faint citrus peel followed by pale malt,  bread and light fruit. Nicely balanced and easy to drink but nothing out of the ordinary.
