4.43/5  rDev +9.7%
look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5

Poured an awesome golden yellow color which was slightly cloudy from yeast sediment. One finger of cream colored, fine bubbled, head resulted from my pour which produced lacing on the walls of my tulip glass. So far, very typical of a high octane Belgian ale.

The aroma is fruity with a burst of floral hops.

The flavor is full and rich. Ripe fruit, malt, bubble gum, piny hops all of which resulted in a perfect balance of bitter/sweet in this Belgian style ale.

The mouthfeel is rich and full on your palate yet refreshing because of the ample amount of hop bite.

Drinkability, despite this ales high abv, is great given it wonderful balanced flavor.

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

Enjoyed this bomber bottle out of a Beligan Tulip glass.

A: Pours a cloudy orangish-copper hue with a white, 4-finger, frothy head that slowly dissipates leaving a great trail and solid lace.

S: Sweet tangerine fruity aroma.

T: Sweet tangerine and spicy flavor with a good hop profile. Ends of the sweet fruity side of bitter.

M: Medium body and medium carbonation.

O: This is one of the combination beers that actually works. Complex flavors and aromas.

3.9/5  rDev -3.5%
look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 4

Glowing slightly hazed yellow body. Loads of cascading lace down to the bottom.

Smells of banana and apple esters with a little spice and a splash of grapefruit.

The taste has more of the banana and apple, citrus, a little clove, then finishes with a burnt plastic that lingers.

Mouthfeel is full and a little sticky. Good carbonation.

Overall I thought it was a very good beer but for the off-putting aftertaste of plastic. The aroma and other flavors were very good.

Serving type: on-tap
