A: it's the color of 2/3 root beer and 1/3 cream soda. Off tan head. Definitely very dark for the style
S: grapefruit, and some malt.
T: lots of malt, some hops, and slightly cloying.
M: medium body, moderate carbonation.
O: overall this is a big miss for me. The hop character gets a little more intense as I drink, but this is way off on style.

Pours hazy deep amber color with white foamy cap. Strong citrus with notes of grapefruit, orange and floral hops with deep malty caramel backbone. Amazing IPA at 54 IBU’s & 7.5% ABV.

Hazy copper color with a substantial tan head that provides excellent lacing, the nose is ripe tangerine and malt - significant malt.
The tangerine flavor is forward, with the toffee malt keeping thing smooth and quaffable. This is a very nice Midwestern IPA, IMHO.
