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

Poured into an Ommegang tulip glass from a botlle.

A- a clear golden bronze color with a fluffy 2-plus finger white head that fades and leaves a lot of lacing. Plenty of carbonation.

S- citrus and floral hops, dry bread, some spice, banana and pear.

T-fruity, banana and pear, with some faint citrus hop flavor. Yeasty, dry bread. A funky sweetness, perhaps from a touch of honey.

M- Lively carbonation gives it snap, hops give it a slight sharpness,which are essential given the dry,bready, alcohol finish. Well balanced.

O- Drinkable and flavorful, not overly hopped, spot on for the style.

A: Medium brown. Pale looking, with a bit of golden around the light and edges. Lots of head on the top that sticks to the glass for quite a while.

S: Typical belgian yeast smell but with a bit more malt than normal. A bit of corn and wheat smell, more than usual.

T: This is where the difference between belgian and IPA comes in. Definitely a bit of citrus from the hops used here. Not as strong a yeasty taste as usual. Crisp, a bit bitter, and refreshing.

M: Very clean, smooth, and refreshing. Nice crisp feel as it finishes. The citrus doesn't hang around, and you're ready for another sip in a few seconds. Very good.
