From the pint can, it pours a clear coppery red amber color with a nice light tan head that slowly reduces and leaves lacing. The nose gets citrus and light malt. The mouth follows with a citrusy lightly malty taste with a pleasant bitterness that is easy to drink. Lighter body, modest lightly bitter aftertaste.

Poured from a bottle into a pint glass. Pours copper red orange with a fluffy white head. Smells of citrus hops. Tastes of citrus and earthy hops with nice malt backbone. Beer is light bodied and easy drinking, good carbonation. Overall, a good beer.

Nice golden orange color - bode well until the taste. No head. Dry. Citrusy almost chemical aftertaste.

A: A hazy light amber in color with a little bit of a tan head.
S: Grassy with notes of pineapple juice, and sweet orange peel. Almost something herbal in the finish, with a mango follow-up.
T: Tons of bitterness and hop flavor and a ton of orange juice, with bitter orange pith. Like someone distilled orange peel pith into a bitter solvent for an unknown purpose.
M: Medium in body with a touch of syrup. Lots of carbonation, and a bit of a bite.
O: I get it, there are some hops in here... it's not very pleasant. I can tell there is a decent beer in there somewhere, but it's too much like chewing orange pith to be enjoyable.

Bought a growler.
Pour golden and clear. Small choppy white head, that generated fluffy lacing.
smells tropical and pine and something musty.
Light malt up front, with hints of pear, orange peel, and a great deal of bitterness accompanied by a bit of sourness. Quite spicy and some boozy warming which lingers. Crisp and full creamy mouthfeel.
Unbalanced and more of a west coast IPA but it is clean and crisp and satisfies ones hoppy desires.
