Made with seven hop varieties, this deep copper-orange IPA is loaded with juicy hop notes of pine, lemon zest, and a layer of pink grapefruit and a strong foundation of toasted caramel malts underneath it all give this beer a complexity that's unparalleled.

A - Hazy ice tea. Fine white head settles quickly with low lace.

S - Sweet and fruity. Peaches, jalapeno, cilantro, passion fruit, lilac, and orange peal.

T- Woody bitters up front. Fruity center with yellow raisins and orange zest. Floral hops and sweet caramel malt through the finish. The profile is a little disconnected with the fruit and malt playing out separately from the bitter flavors.

M - Medium body. Nice carbonation.

O - Not a bad IPA. On the sweeter side of the style.

Darker than average color for an ipa, this had an auburn and light brown appearance. Big almost 2" head. Aroma was very woody and not hoppy. Seems all bittering hops up in here.

Taste was a big time caramel malt impression. Substantially bitter and mild alcohol warmth. I think some Simcoe came through, but really, for something named hops infusion, this was a muddled typical grapefruit and caramel type of scenario taste wise. Label artwork was rad, I might be boosting the overall score because of it, I dunno.

Any proclaimed complexity is laughable, this is just a big bitter, big crystal malt ipa that has been done thousands of times.
