4.5/5 rDev +5.6%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5

Appearance- Murky light orange. Pours with a finger of white head that fades to tiny bubbles covering the surface

Smell- Nose is my favorite part of this beer. Tropical fruit and citrus with a hint of alcohol behind that.

Taste- Taste follows the nose with a nice citrus burst followed by a pleasant bitterness that washes over at the end. Love the citra hops in this one.

Mouthfeel- On the full side for an ipa. Very creamy upfront but the carbonation gives a crisp finish.

Overall- Bedlam is a great example of what a Belgian ipa can and should be. I can't get enough of that big tropical/citrus flavor. The body is different and more interesting then a run of the mill ipa. Never hesitate to grab a 6 of this when I come across it.

4.16/5 rDev -2.3%
look: 4.75 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4.25

Served chilled in a bottle and allowed to warm up in a standard pint glass.

A=Very rich, copper color with a robust, whitish head.

S=Strong essence of apricot, even in the bottle...also rather evident in the glass.

T=Initially, a rather strong apricot taste with accompanying sweetness. Rather light malt flavor, and no noticeable hops. The finish was more like a peach--this beer reminded me a lot of Magic Hat #9, only with the flavor cranked up a notch or two.

M=A bit too heavy and sweet to be a session beer--ideal sipping beer in autumn as a winter warmer.

O=This is the first "Belgian IPA" that I can recall drinking....IPA lovers will be disappointed in the lack of traditional hop/IPA flavoring. I may try again this fall on tap at the brewery, but can't see this as an everyday beer.
