Feels like a more traditional IPA. Finishes a bit dry and dusty bitter. Faintly piney or melon but bitter dominates the back end. A welcome change of pace from the now ubiquitous juice beers with zero bitterness. But nothing is jumping out and grabbing me here flavor wise. Just a solid, drinkable IPA with some much needed and appreciated old school sensibilities. I like it.

Growler poured into tulip. Dated 7/26/18.
Cloudy golden orange look. Light tropical nose. Taste is nice tropical taste up front and little hop grapefruit bite at end. Easy draw. Over all a very good IPA and easy to drink. Will by again.

 

Tying another local. Poured a great head in a tulip that laced to the end. Has a great cloudy dark orange color. with a light hop/fruit aroma. Very smooth taste and no bitterness on the n the palate. Great blend, easy drinker only 5.4%.

 

 

Carefully poured from a 12-oz can (just like in the photo) dated 07-18-17 into a chilled pint glass on 12-26-17.

Abundant carbonation yielded a 3-cm head that quickly subsided into persistent heavy off-white lacing. Quite opaque with a beautiful deep amber-orange color that says "Drink me!"

Aroma is very juicy citrus with a hint of spruce buds.

Taste starts out heavy on the grapefruit-tangerine-orange spectrum, fading to very slightly bready malt with a touch of pine in the still citrusy finish.

TLDR: A very tasty brew - especially for an IPA that's been in the can for 5+ months. Worth trying if you can get it.

 

 

 

 

 

L: Pours a murky orange/caramel color. Large off white head. The retention
is above average with a few nice thick bands of lacing.
S: Pine and some juicy tropical notes. Aroma is long lasting as the beer goes down.
T: Subdued hops are dominant with some caramel malt. Sweet. Hops are troical
and the bitterness is slight. Smooth with a hint of bitter hop aftertaste. As the
beer warms the malt comes out stronger.
O: Above average IPA, but with the diluted market it's a beer I wouldn't seek out.

Cheers!

L - pours a moderately hazy copper amber orange. Thin head with lazy lacing that slowly drips down the sides of the glass.

S - orange stickiness with hints of white bread and vanilla. Mild grapefruit spice.

T - surprisingly juicy with a pleasant dank orangey citrus candy flavor. Toasted lemons and mild must. Soft pineapple finishes with a resiny bite. Numbing bitterness.

F - silky and low in carbonation. Mostly full feel.

O - a lot better than I expected. Hot and heavy, definitely on the sticky side and malt forward, although balanced by nice hop bitterness. I've added this to my list of go-to brews for shitty parties or lazy Sundays floating down the river.

Hazy, golden /orange look. Lots of flavors. Smooth taste. If you like IPAs, you need to try this one, because it is unique.
