3/9/18...pale yellow, hazy, white foam lid. Orange and orange rind nose. But mostly citrus. Peppery taste klight bodied orange juice with pulp undercurrent. Simplistic fruited IPA. Pretty good.

What an absolutely disappointing IPA. I was expecting a burst of orange flavored hop and I got nothing but dull hop. The nose wasn't particularly interesting, this wasn't a well made IPA. I poured it down the drain. There are so many good New England style IPAs with tons of hop aromas and complex flavoring. Go elsewhere and don't waste money on this one.

Poured from a 16 ounce can into a pint glass. Nice head, creamy colored with a orange tinge. Body of the beer is a deep yellow on the verge of being amber. First sip reveals a distinct lack of orange juice flavor, although the bitterness of the hops comes thru loud and clear. Not a bad IPA but certainly not as ' juiced' as would be expected of a beer with this name.

16oz can. Pours a slightly clear yellow with an inch of head. Fair amount of lacing. Bready aroma with orange peel and grassy hops. The taste is a blend of grassy hops and orange juice with a good deal of sourdough bread. Tastes more like orange seltzer than orange juice as you continue. Grassy finish with orange peel and lemon zest. Not nearly as much orange juice flavor as expected. Mild bitterness. Lots of carbonation. An odd beer but it’s not too bad. However it’s not something I would buy again.

From the 16 oz can with no date listed. Sampled on November 16, 2017.
It pours a kind of tangerine-yellow with only a slight cloudiness and not pulpy as what one expects from the style. Quick lasting white head.
The aroma has a citrus or more precisely orange ester interspersed with some sourdough or bready malts.
Light to medium body.
A mild to moderate orange or citrus character in the flavor that evolves into a mild to moderate dry bitterness at the end. But it did not blow me away.

Feel like I am drinking an average beer that accidentally had some orange juice spilled into it. Overall it's not terrible, but might be better with bacon and eggs than it is watching Miami blow out Notre Dame at 11:25 PM.
