On draft at MCO.
Darker orange) apricot in color with a big, fluffy white head. Big lacing as well.

Aroma is very faint. A hint of citrus.

A sweet maltiness dominates the first sip. The bitterness follows bit mildly and without much distinct direction. Some citrus rind, mild tropical fruit maybe mango?

Carbonation is bright.

Overall the sweetness is a bit much for me for a regular IPA. Kick up the ABV to double category and it might balance out.
Nothing big or outstanding, but does drink quite easily. A bit more pronounced bitterness would certainly help.

Golden orange to orange amber with a 2 1/2 finger off white head that recedes slowly leaving good lacing.

Over ripe citrus, pineapple, grapefruit and peel on the aroma. with hints of caramel malts.

Sweet malts with caramel. Bitter grapefruit rind. Light citrus.

Medium in body with light carbonation and light syrup. Drying.

This is a really good beer. It's well balanced and tasty, with great aroma.

Came in a 9oz goblet a deep copper/bronze with a thinner but well sustained white head atop.Aromas of tangerines and other citrus fruits with a touch of grass,sweet alcohol aromas as well.Quite sweet on the palate with sugary sweetness mixed with caramel and booze,there is a nice citric splash in the finish but it doesn't take away from the sweetness really.It's a good beer but again like way to many of the style the sweetness is large and in charge.

On tap in a pint glass. Hazy copper color with a thin white head. Very little hop aroma, surprisingly. Mostly malt and caramel. Tastes like a standard DIPA, hoppy but a bit too sweet for me.
