Crisp finish with a lot of tropical fruit notes both on the palate and in the nose. The aroma is incredible. Tropical fruit notes - mainly tangerine, orange zest and grapefruit. On the palate, I get a nice sweetness from the malt and yeast along with a lot of grapefruit. This is my favorite of all the IPAs I've ever brewed.
Note: My LHBS doesn't carry Belgian Pilsner or Belgian Wheat. Therefore, I subbed with German Pilsner and German Wheat.
