Cool 12 oz bottle poured in UK pint glass. Beer is a yellowish amber with a fat yellow-white head. Big cascade (centennial?) hops aroma. Underneath the array of hops is the combination dry and sweet flavor typical of fermenting with sugar, reminiscent of Belgian golden ales. Totally serves the style well with a well balanced load of hops. Tons of lacing on the glass.
After having to resort to drinking Fat Tire at a wedding I am pleasantly surprised with this choice from New Belgium, CO.

Hazy yellow and orange, 3/4" head, white, retention was good. Aroma hit the belgian yeast notes more than it did the hops.
Taste dropped way more bitterness than your average Belgian. The hops came out to play a lot more on the tongue than they did in the nose. Finishes clean, but before you get there, there is plenty of belgian spice rack and black pepper.
Good at what it is.

From notes, 4/29/11. Draft, City Beer Store. A very nice Belgian IPA. I rather like the Lips of Faith series. They mostly would make for excellent introductions to their various styles, since they’re friendly, enjoyable versions that still pack good flavor and some complexity. This isn’t quite competing with the best of the sub-style, but it’s nearly there and very good in its own right. Good citrus/grass/floral hop notes blend with Belgian yeastiness and a touch of earth. Taste is a bit sweet but finishes dry with a gentle bitter bite. A very pleasant beer and another win for New Belgium’s fancy line.
