A: Amber, clear and 1 finger white head. Carbonation bubbles seen on sides of glass.

S: Citrus and chocolate. That was a really odd combo. I don't see the specific relationship with citrus and chocolate.

T: Snappy bitterness. This however isn't so much citrus as it is earthy and herbal.

M: Good carbonation. Balanced.

O: Just ok. Too many things going on that aren't considered complexities but rather detractors that pull me too many ways.

Absolute trash. 4 months out in Bottled date on the can. Smells like a 3 year old ipa. No fruits all crap. Pure crap. The carbonation was gushing and chunky white floating stuff , tons of it. This is fan favorite? This is the worst IPA i have ever drank . Taste is a voided mess. No fruits, just a nasty malt base thats flat. This has to be infected? I will never buy another beer from this brewery ever again.

Appearance – Deep orange amber body with a lot of little floaters. Four finger head.

Aroma – Citrus and pale malts, and a little bit yeasty.

Taste – Pale and caramel malts. A little woody. Not as much hop presence.

Mouthfeel – A little astringent but otherwise OK. Not spectacular.

Overall – Good beer but not as much hoppiness as expected.
