A nice sampler pack of 3 750's and a glass.

I tried the BPA first. It poured a half glass of liquid and a half a glass of head. Really bright dark gold with beautiful head and lacing.

Nose is citrus leaning on rind and spicy. The hops could be part of the spice.

The taste is really a treat. Nice citrus with a huge dose of Belgian hops and a finish of more Belgian hops to match.

Great balanced taste with nice carbonation and mouth feel. Alcohol is medium strength and drinkable. Drinkable in the Duvel catagory. This stuff is good.

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.
