Pours a hazy orange color head is white and creamy looks like a nice beer overall... Smell is of a very sweet fruit maybe a sugary orange??? I expect a certain level of sweetness in a belgian but this is somewhat surprising. Not off putting overall but surprising... no hops on the nose... Taste is slightly sweet not nearly the sweetness you get in the nose and there are definitely hops present. Very interesting indeed... ooo and there is the 10% alcohol on the back of the tongue leaving a boozy mouthfeel... In the second sip getting a little more of the orange I picked up in the nose and you can definitely taste that beer has some alcohol in it... again not off-putting just very obvious but I don't mind tasting my alcohol a little bit... Overall a good beer would drink again on tap to give that a try.

look: 4.25 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4

A: poured from a 22 oz bottle into a pint glass, amber colored with a huge foamy off-white head that lingers leaving good lacing, cloudy

S: very yeasty up front, notes of banana, corriander, clove, spice, slight lemony hop

T: bitter up front, grapefruit, immediately changes to a wheat beeresque yeasty banana flavor, finish is quite sweet

M: fullier bodied, alcohol completely hidden

O: an odd hybrid brew, flavors are more belgian strong ale that IPA

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

Bottled on: 3/21/13

A: poured into a duvel tulip to a hazy and cloudy brass hue with a finger of slightly off white dense head that retains well
S: fruity esters and spicy yeast do battle with the hop aromas of pine and citrus
T: a good bitter grapefruit rind hop kick is followed by some fruity esters and spicy yeast with a slight pine toward the back end. slight caramel sweetness from the malt throughout but just enough to play a supporting role. swallow brings a bit of alcohol and some oily and citrusy hop flavor that lingers for some time with whispers of fruity esters
M: upper side of medium on the palate with carb that is slow to build but becomes apparent over time and is slightly prickly. slightly dry on the finish
O: very good but I'd trade a lower ABV for better disguised alcohol. nice complexity and flavors with a solid hop kick.
