look: 5 | smell: 5 | taste: 5 | feel: 5 | overall: 5

Appearance - Golden, honey color, and hazy, with lots of brown chunks and sediment. It has a finger-width white head, that leaves a tremendous amount of lacing.

Aroma - Very, very sweet. Apricots, the typical IPA sweetness, floral hops, no malt.

Taste - A little sweetness at the beginning, and sort of mild as far as hoppiness goes. The more I drank, the less sweet it was, and the more hoppy it became. A little malt, but mostly just apricot, tart, and floral hops.

Finish - very dry, crisp, refreshing, and delicious.

look: 5 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.75

Pours a hazy golden-straw color with very heavy lacing and an extreme amount of floaters. Smells of yeast, piney hops, white bread, and citrusy hops. Complex smell that combines the amerianc IPA and belgium IPA but seems a little muted, though.

Tasts starts with piney hops, then lemon and orange, with a piney-bready-yeasty finish. Definitely taste the spices throughout as long with a hint of apricot. Not as much hop aroma or flavor as I would hope for though. Mouthfeel is light with moderate-heavy carbonation. A nice mix of Belguim & American IPA's, this is one of the better BBC beer i've tried so far.
