Serving: Growler

A:
Pours a glowing orange that is pretty clear with a finger of beige head. All right retention; specks of lacing. (4)
S:
Bitter citrus and white pepper, caramel-tinted malt backbone. (3.5)
T:
Dry and bitterish with a kind of aromatic hint of citrus, hop tea and not much else. (3.5)
M:
Medium body with light carbonation, well-hidden alcohol and a dry finish. (3.75)
O:
A pretty decent west coast IPA as far as that goes.
It pours nice and orange with a little off-white head. The aroma and flavor are both not quite as loud as I had expected but they were nice. It is earthy, a touch citrusy, with a dry bite and some caramel malt balanced in there. It is pretty drinkable and the alcohol is well placed. Nonetheless I am surprised and disappointed there isn't more flavor punch for the ABV.
I enjoyed it but it was not the end-all-be-all or anything. (3.5)

Growler: Poured a deep amber color ale with a large foamy had with good retention and light lacing. Aroma of caramel malt notes with some dry hoppy notes. Taste is a mix of dry caramel malt with some earthy and somewhat citrusy hops with a dry finish. Body is a pretty full for style with good carbonation. Interesting IPA but too much caramel flavours and not enough hops flavours for my taste.

Had a glass of this at Brewery Market Capital Mash-Up. From notes.
A - Poured cloudy orange. Looked quite similar to a Hefe. Mild carbonation, little retention and no lace.
S - Soapy, lemon, cleaning products.
T - Same as the aroma. Strong orange. Orange punch? Medicinal.
M - Little to no bitterness which seemed odd for the name they've chosen. Little carbonation and a medium body.
O/D - Pretty odd. Not all that tasty and missing an authentic IPA hop flavour. Didn't want more.
