Look: Pours a hazy orange color and had a thick, fluffy white head.
Smell: I’m getting citrus, tangerine, malt, and also a nice candied mango aroma.
Taste: More subtle than expected. The dry hop is nice, subtle flavors I’m getting are mango, orange, but not much else.
Feel: I like the dry hop, medium feel and goes down smoothly. Obviously a dry finish and overall really pleasant texture.
Overall: One of the weaker offerings from IBW. Not bad but I’ve had much better beer from them in regular rotation.

Hazy pale orange with 2 finger white head. Smells full of candied citrus and mango. Taste follows the nose with candied orange, tangerine, and mango, that folds into some fruit pith, and ends with a sweeter juice hint. Body is light to medium with medium carbonation with a softer body. Ends slightly dry, though sweet. Overall a nice local DDH IPA, solid but not particularly special.
