I had this at iron Hill Brewery in Maple Shade, NJ. It came in a tulip glass.
Appearance: The body is a clear dark golden color. The head is a right color, one fingers tall, good retention, not much lacing, and tiny sized bubbles.
Smell: The aromas are yeast, water, and esters.
Taste: The flavors are yeast, citrus, resin.
Mouthfeel: The body is medium, with a crisp clean finish.
Drinkability: This beer is very drinkable.
Don't drink and review.

Would someone please explain to me why there are 7 listings for this beer? I've never understood that about BA listings... does it really matter whether I bought this bottle from the Phoenixville, West Chester, or Media locations?
Pours a golden yellow, with a decent cream-colored, tight, bubbly head. Lot of carbonation ascending throughout.
Smelled of grapes ... quite champagne-like.
Some bitter bark in the flavor, continued champagne quality, and some lime zest to finish it off.
MF was crisp, very dry, with great carbonation that hangs out on the back of the tongue for a good, long while.
Little too bitter to consider this one highly drinkable, but an enjoyable compliment to an appetizer or dinner nonetheless.

was expecting a lot from this beer. especially for what i paid for it.
appearance: hazy golden color - big head that dissipates quickly
smell: strong malty citrus smell
taste: very crisp initial taste - malty citrus. light and enjoying. not exactly what i would associate with a belgian strong pale ale - but good regardless.
mouthfeel: crisp - yet overall mellow. very back of the mouth taste
drinkability: not too bad.

My girlfriend brought this down from Newark for New Years Eve. It was very enjoyable.
A - Gold to copper. Nice an thick like a gold belgium should be.
S - I agree it was very fruity with a little sour aroma.
T- Nice and refreshing Light Belfgium. Sweet with lots of fruit characteristics.
M- Really enjoyable. Light almost like champagne. Lots of carbonation.
D- Sample the large bottle with a couple of friends and it didn't last very long at all.
My first tasting of iron hill and it was delicious. Can't wait to get more.

Thanks to my sis and Brother-in-law for this one!
Poured up a slightly hazy pale-yellow, almost gold color.Lots of bubbles rising. Nice rocky off-white head.
Aroma-grassy, yeasty, some tart fruit.
Mouthfeel-Very carbonated with a prickly champagne feel on the palate. This is a solid Belgian, tastes more like a Blonde. Sweeter with some mild hop flavors. This is very tasty. Grassy with some fruit flavors-apple maybe? Finishes clean. This was my first offering from Iron Hill, very enjoyable.
