Iowa, United States

Style | ABV
Belgian IPA |  6.25% ABV

Availability: Year-round. bottle (44), on-tap (6)

Notes:
Joe’s multinational take on a classic IPA. IPA’s are known for their intense hop bitterness, flavor and aromas. First, Joe used American and English malt, then American and English hops are added during the mash, first wort, boil, and finally it’s dry hopped for aroma. Belgium gets involved with the yeast and a special candy sugar finish for smoothness and flavor.

2.58/5  rDev -29.3%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 2 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 2.5

Mildly spicy yeast aroma with a Belgian quality to it. That's okay, but not too much else going on.
Mostly clear amber with gold to brown and orange. Smallish head.
I've had this several times and I keep coming to the conclusion that the flavors are just a mess. The bitterness is strong and not that pleasant. The malt flavors are weak and uninteresting and the hops are mostly grassy. Occasionally get some yeast flavors - they are okay. I like the idea and the marketing speak - that's why I bought it, but in the end it's just not that enjoyable .
Thinnish body, but not too much. Prickly carbonation.
In the end the bitterness is too emphasized. not very pleasing and too much.

3.38/5  rDev -7.4%
look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.5

ST: Bottle poured into a glass

A: Darker golden hue; kind of like a lighter rusty color. clear body, clouds up when mix in yeast from bottom of bottle

S: Get a more hop forward smell. Definitely get a dry hop aroma

T: Fell a little flat for me, could be because of the bottle I had. The very top of the bottle, on the lip where the cap goes over, had been chipped, so possible loss of carbonation. What I did get out of it was the dry hop in the flavor. The dry hop taste definitely helped out.

MF: Lighter body, not heavy on the hops (again revert back to my comment in 'Taste'). Low carbonation*; the dry finish from their dry hop process helped.

O: My overall experience was fair, but could be better. I will give it another try due to the fact of the bottle being "damaged".

Nice mouthfeel.
