Imperial IPA brewed with honey & blood orange juice.
Duuuuuuude. Wait what was I saying? Oh that's right. Doritos, like what if they grew on trees? Dud, if a Dorito tree fell in a forest, and no one heard it, I'd like eat the whole thing. Ever get insulted by what Netflix like suggests you would like? I don't want to watch Roseanne. Again.

Opaque amber appearance with slight white head. Aroma is a mild but pleasant citrus. Taste is a nice mild citrus that is smooth and very tasty. The honey really adds to the smoothness.

No head from the bar pour. No lace. Mild haze. The color is dirty gold.
Plenty of grapefruit rind nose. Prickly and bitter.
The flavor starts with a mild pale malt sweetness which holds off the bittering hop bite until the swallow. The bittering flavors strengthen as the aftertaste continues. A bit of alcohol warmth.

650ml bottle, snifter glass. Pours a darker copper body, clear, with a one finger white head, good retention, bits of lacing. Smell is grapefruit juice, citrus, a bit of grapefruit zest, light grain, a bit of orange peel also. Flavour follows, a bit sweeter than the nose would suggest, but a nice sweet tangerine fruitiness, grapefruit and lemon zest, orange peel, mild grainy and toffee sweetness. Mouthfeel is medium body, lighter carbonation which is still appropriately within limits of the style, mild zesty orange juice finish.

Appearance - The beer poured a orange copper color with a white head.
Smell - The beer had a nice ripe orange nose that revealed a little bitterness.
Taste - At the front was a syrupy oange presence that I assume was the orange and honey coming together. The orange leaned a little bitter with hints of rind. Grassy hops provide a clean element to the finish.
Mouthfeel - The honey gives a stickiness. Even with a heavier body, carbonation is noted.
Overall - In the fish line of Pipeworks IPAs, this one swims to the front of the line.
