On tap at Gabriel's Gate in Buffalo, NY.

This one pours a slightly hazy golden yellow color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This smells floral and perfumey, with some orange and grapefruit.

This feels a touch flat, as there's no bitterness, and a sort of vague and muddled hop character. It's underwhelming for sure, and this is usually a pretty solid brewery.

This is light bodied, slick, maybe even a little bit underattenuated, with not the greatest drinkability overall.

I expected a bit more out of this brewery, in the end. Frank and The/That IPA are much better.

 

 

Pours an opaque dark orange, huge gushing head that settles out slowly, lots of nice lacing. Nose is like an orange or pineapple popsicle - there's a dryness to it but also an underly sweetness sugary sweetness that opens up as it warms. That said, aromas are surprisingly unexpressed even after 15 or 20 minutes outside the fridge. Taste has huge pineapple juice notes with a bit of orange juice from concentrate. Aftertaste is very harsh, even burning, as well as an odd, spicy tingling. Goes strong for a few notes but taste and feels very off-balance.

Pours a milky orange. Citrus aroma. Big foam. Light bitter body. Navel orange flavor. Slight sweetness at the end. Juicy and smooth. Very good.
