Bottle to becher pint glass, the appearance was a semi-murky orange color with a finger's worth of white foamy head that swiftly slid off. Lacing was somewhat there but that slid super quick on into the beer.
The aroma had some tea leafy to floral qualities up front, then a delicate biscuit/breadiness coming in underneath. Light grassy to herbal character.
The flavor was moderately sweet pulling the tea and floral components in to play with the malt portions of the breadiness. Not much of an aftertaste, but somewhat tea-like and quaint.
The mouthfeel was almost medium bodied with a fair sessionable smooth feel about it. Carbonation did feel fine. ABV felt appropriate. Semi-smooth finish.
Overall, weird IPA to say the least, wish I found a date on this. Was this supposed to be an English style or an American style?

Bottle shared at a tasting. Orange pour, small white head. Smells of honey and malt sugars. Tastes like honey, malt sugars and a bit of earl grey. Medium body with medium carbonation.

Hazy yellow color with white head. Aroma is herbal and floral with some tea notes and crackery malts in the background. Taste starts with some nice tea notes, thyme and other aromatic herbs. Medium body with soft carbonation. Really nice, a well made IPA with well integrated aromatic herbs notes.

A - Pours a slightly hazy gold with over a finger of voluminous light tan dense head. Fantastic lacing and retention. Looks fantastic!
S - Lots of sweet citrusy orange and pear type flavors. Nice slightly bready malt backbone. Sweet fruits more than anything
T - Nice dry bitterness, slightly bland, grassy herbal flavors kick in. Mild malt presence and a rather bitter aftertaste. I've had this for ~2 months :/. Plus it was acquired in a trade.. probably a little past its prime. its decent but has potential to be a little more i think. Will re-review when I get another one of these!
M - Lightish bodied, pretty decent carbonation. Rather drinkable
O - The citrusy/fruity flavors seemed to have possibly gone awry. Still a nice dry bitterness but the sweetness is really lacking, I think due to the age of the brew. I would welcome trying this one again, a slightly fresher batch could yield much better results

From 22 oz bottle via Letspour.
Poured in a Chimay glass.
Pours a semi-cloudy gold...modest head with lace.
Initial aroma of a fresh fruit tart, apricot, apple, kiwi, sugar cane...refreshing.
Moderate carbonation and mouthfeel.
Flavors of straw hops, white grapefruit rind, slight chalk, poblano pepper juice. Overall bold and full bodied but not my favorite IPA profile but worthy of a pint or more.
