Bottle. Reddish amber color. Red fruit, peach and grassy notes in the aroma. Hints of caramel, citrus, red fruit and grassy notes in the malty sweetish flavor. Tasty, but smooth and not really assertive.
Draft at PreFunk. Dark amber, clear, scant head. Sharp malty aroma, Band-Aids. Taste is also malt centric, leaves, tobacco . Slightly dry, cough drops.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a clear copper with medium creamy off white head that lasts. The aroma is grain and earth. Medium mouth, bready malt, caramel, bitter finish.
Bottle thanks to Lectvay. Pours reddish dark orange with large foamy beuge head, faint malt aroma, medium carbonation, slightly bitter hoppy caramel taste, full body, abrupt finish with caramel aftertaste. Nice hoppy red ale.
@Bottleshare avond met @MaartenRF10 500ml, schenkt rood/bruin met witte kraag. aroma van zoete caramel, hop en den, smaken zijn redelijk zoet, matig bitter, redelijk gehopt, caramel, kruidig, volle smaak, zacht en glad, goede afdronk, redelijk typische granigheid in de smaak zoals veel voorkomend in een Amerikaanse Barley Wine
Deep amber pour, with decent head. Aromas of caramel, toffee, burnt sugar and roasted nuts. The taste is what you’d expect from the smell, with caramel slightly overwhelming, followed by roasted pecans, almonds and a very mild bitterness.Too sweet for my taste, but a decent brew for what it’s worth. Not sure this is an American IPA, though - it tastes more like a brown ale.
Bottle from Geers. Red/brown colour, beige foam. Medium carbonation. Sweet nose of caramel, tropical fruit. Light bitter hoppy finish. Light notes of cardboard. Sweet and malty. Almost one year old. Too old maybe.
Thanks to Erwin! 500 ml. bottle sampled @ “Tim’s orgasmic Trillium tasting”. Bottled on 23/12/14. Okay so apparently this beer supports “The Cause”, I will refrain from commenting upon the “political choices” of this brewery and as such I will limit myself to only the taste etc. of the beer. Hazy amber, creamy off-white head. Nose is floral, yeasty, sugary, sweetish, fruity in an obvious ravaged by age IPA kind of way, floral, more sugar. Taste is thinned out IPA, exposing the base, sugary, faintly herbal, malty, brown sugar ,caramel, lightly floral,… Sweetish, thin, faded hops. Thinned out older IPA body. Obviously too old to properly judge. Distribution might be potentially to blame here since the guy who brought this apparently purchased this rather recently.

16/X/15 - 50cl bottle from Geers (Oostakker) @ home - BB: n/a, bottled: XII/23/14 (although it only hit the shelves somewhere this summer) (2015-1482) Thanks to Erwin for sharing the bottle!
Clear red beer, creamy irregular beige head, little stable, bit adhesive, leaving some lacing in the glass. Aroma: sourish, bit fruity, red berries. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: sweet start, malty, caramel, bit fruity, bitter, sourish touch. Aftertaste: hoppy, malty, caramel, banana, fruity finish. Not sure what to make of this. Probably age has hit it hard.
