Bright and tropical, this India Pale Ale brilliantly layers a citrusy blend of orange and tangerine with a robust hop profile. Crafted with real citrus and packed with as much flavor as a hop cooler, you won’t be able to stop at just one sip of this fresh and fruity beer.

12oz bottle to Nonic style glass
Dark burnished caramel color body with nice clarity and a lasting seam foam capper. Very citrus forward as expected - orange and tangerine plays the dominant fruit. Touch of floral honey, caramel sweetness and bready malt. Feel is slightly watered down for me.

Part of an IPA sampler 12-pack. Poured in ti a pint glass.
Pours a dull gold color, with a small white head.
Smell is a strong sweet citrus scent.
Taste is a dry grain flavor with a bitter pine flavor on the finish.
Feel is dry and clean.
Over all a good clean but dry IPA.

Pours a hazy amber gold, decent lacing and ok lacing. Smells of citrus and hops, very nice orange and grapefruit notes. The taste is very good, good hop bite with a refreshing wash of citrus to even out things. There is a decent dryness with bite on the finish, overall a medium style beer and is very nice on a hot summer day.
