A burnt orange almost reddish and a thin head
S. sweet bread aroma
T. Resinous flavor upfront then spicy aftertaste, bitter hops lingering, and still lingering,still...
M. Bubbles to medium body that is slightly oily ending with cotton mouth
O. When I first tried this beer about a month ago I was not very familiar with IPA's, this beer has set a bar for me. Granted I am fairly new to craft beer, I have bought this beer more than once, it hase been a beer that I go to when all I need is one beer,and no messin around. I get the full craft beer experience in one 12 ounce can.

Very very standard fare here....tastes like a sort of decent homebrew that you wish had turned out better..

It's not offensive, perfectly fine to drink...but just oozes mediocrity...

A touch bitter but wish it kicked more...

I had this beer on-tap in a clear plastic cup at the Hubcap Grill at George Bush Intercontinental Airport.

Appearance: dark orange hue with just a hint of haze and a finger of frothy ivory foam.

Smell: sweet malt with a slightly citrusy/herbal hop aroma. Not too bad.

Taste: caramelly malt with a fair bit of sweetness and a decent citrusy hop character. A pretty standard American IPA.

Mouthfeel: medium body with a decent carbonation and a pretty good creaminess for the style.

Overall: a perfectly cromulent IPA, if a bit in the old-school model.

On tap at Flying Saucer in DFW Airport in Dallas, TX.

Light caramel look meets light caramel flavors. It’s like a 16 year old brewed a beer. And not a cool 16 year old that listens to My Bloody Valentine - think more so Avril Lavigne.

On tap at Chili's near the hotel in Houston.
Pours a mostly clear deep amber color with a thin off white head that slowly recedes. Bready toasty light caramel maltiness with old school pine and citrus with bits of tropical and earthy notes. Nice.

Can picked up today, but says enjoy by 2022/09/22
Pours a frothy off-white creamy 1 finger head with moderate retention, sticky lacing, clear amber to almost auburn-copper color

Nose bright hops, west coast spicy citrusy hops, quite fruity but at the same time earthy spicy and a bit piney, sweet malts, toasted grainy and a bit sweet caramel,

Taste brings some sweet malt up front, candy notes with caramel, toffee, and fair toasted reddish grain malt, quickly into hops, med to higher bitterness, earthy spicy first quickly into fruity citrusy hops, a bit of pine on the back end, high overall hop profile as well as malts, good balance though, drier slight sweet finish with long lingering spicy piney hop bitterness

Mouth is med bod, a bit rich, med to higher frothy carb

Overall quite nice, reminds me of Troegs Nugget Nectar, in a good way
