Pours a bright orange color - clear and crisp. Hate head dissipates slowly leaving some white lacing and spotty white foam on top of the beer.

Smell is a pungent aroma of orange, tangerine, and peach.

Taste follows the nose with lots of orange, peach, and tangerine notes up front. Clean malt backbone is present with a slightly grassy finish.

Feel is light and drinkable. Moderate carbonation. Somewhat bitter semi-dry finish.

Overall this is an outstanding IPL from Jack's Abby - might be the best example of the style I've had.

Pours a cloudy yellow with thick head and sticky lacing. Nose is loaded with hops, citrus, and some malt. The taste is a classic hop bomb, loads of lovely dank hops mixed with citrus and some minor sweet malt. This is a very clean and full flavor hoppy enjoyment, loved it from start to finish, very well done. Light to medium and clean finish.

An interesting and strange beer. Tasting this blind I don't think I'd know it was a lager. Big bitterness, floral and fruity hops, strong malt backbone. Big flavor punch like no lager I've tasted. I'm not in love with it but it's definitely tasty.

Light & refreshing but with a bite, does a great job of melding the crisp body of a lager with some fruiter, semi-bitter hops. Floral aroma, tropical on the tongue (tangerine, melon, a little hibiscus and light cracker)

Citrusy and smooth, but still kept hoppy, bitter taste. Very interesting

I REALLY love this beer. I wasn't sure what to expect from an IPL vs. an IPA since the fermentation process is a bit different but it is so delicious. Was worried that the lager wouldn't pack a punch but it certainly does.
