Ours orange with a white head. Aroma is sweet orange jam with some florals and a hint of some bread. Flavor is overly sweet orange jam stealing the spotlight, florals, a little grass, and bread hanging out as well. A medium bodied, creamy mouthfeel. Overall, big fan of TRVE, but not of this beer.

12oz chalice at the metal-heavy (or is that heavy metal) brewery taproom. I'm guessing this is an ode to the Ripper era Judas Priest catalogue - my sad Rob Halford impression whilst ordering not going over particularly well.

This beer appears a hazy medium golden apricot hue, with one finger of foamy, wispy off-white head, which leaves a low ring of sudsy lace around the glass as it slowly recedes.

It smells of grainy, bready, and fairly yeasty caramel malt, a bit of musty drupe fruit, and earthy, weedy hops. The taste is more bready, grainy pale and caramel malt, a singular yeastiness, some untethered orchard fruitiness, an earthy, leafy, and weedy hoppiness, and a hint of warming alcohol.

The carbonation is low-key, and generally unremarkable, the body a decent enough medium weight, maybe a bit thin, and more than a tad pithy in its fairly plain smoothness. It finishes off-dry, the fruity malt and muddled noble hoppiness riding this thing out amongst a threatening, but hardly deadly booziness.

As this is not a style here, I am trying to evaluate this between an EIPA, and a DIPA - not an easy task. Suffice to say, in the end, all I really get out of this is a mealy English IPA, with a well-disguised elevated booze, a trope hardly worthy of further style investigation - even if I just saw the Bros waltz past me not more than an hour ago.
