We are really Connecting Dots with this New England Style IPA! With tropical aromas of orange creamsicles, ripe mango, fuzzy peaches, pineapple and bright green papaya. Using Citra, Azacca, and Lotus hops - this brew is smooth and creamy, with hints of evergreen, orange gelato and kumquat marmalade (you heard us!) This IPA is truly a citrus bonanza. The perfect transition beer, from summer to fall.

New batch, 500 ml bottle from the brewery. Served cold into a pint glass.

Appearance - Very hazy and turbid orange with honey brown hues. Good head retention but minimal lacing.

Smell - Strongly aromatic with loads of citrus. Orange was the big star of the citrus conglomeration.

Taste - Orange again the star, alcohol well hidden, grapefruit and pineapple show up here and there and thought there might even be lychee. Really good flavor.

Mouthfeel - Full bodied, semi-dry finish, great above average level of carbonation. Everything just pops.

Overall - One of the best from CA, would love to see this get a bigger distribution and another production cycle or three.

Another small batch brew from CA, this pours pale orange, with a delicious nose of citrus and hops. The head retains for a while. The taste is slightly more bitter than would have guessed by the nose. Dry. Boozy aftertaste.
Not bad really, but nothing special either. Maybe we are just spoiled by all the good options nowadays.
