Poured from the can into a Spiegelau IPA glass.

Beaming amber orange body color, opaque and solid but with a nice glow and appearance. Head is very fine, fluffy, and a good classic three finger size. Khaki light in color with a very creamy top and super fine bubbles that are made up. A few pill bits of lacing hang on. Great looking brew.

Real nice hop aroma. Hints a little exotic, slightly floral but with a sweet perfume like quality and hints of candied up like spices. Nice touch of sweetness seems to be lurking in here as well, kind of a faint brown sugar mixed in for balance. Pretty neat and enjoyable nose.

Palate is quite enjoyable. A real nice body that is creamy rich and full, but without syrupy overtones. Big rich mouthfeel of creamy like vanilla and light brown sugar mixing with a creamsicle orange citrus hop action. The finish is bold and big, but enjoyable. Lots of girth and richness in this brew, with some dank aromatic richness on the finish.

Quite a big but very enjoyable beer, one that doesn't get too out of control, but goes for a big ride.

 

 

Received in trade with @vabeerguy. Poured from 16 oz. can into a pint glass. It pours an opaque, dirty tangerine with over a finger of creamy milk-white head and lacing. On the nose there is orange/tangerine, berries, lite pine, onion, and fragrant floral hops. It opens with bright orange slice, lemon peel, grapefruit, and summer berries, along with creamy vanilla/lactose, pine needles, and a flavorful blend of Citra, Mosaic, Galaxy, Amarillo, and Simcoe hops. It's highly flavorful but only mildly bitter. It has a creamy mouth feel with a pleasant level of carbonation, and its 8% ABV gives it good substance but it's nonetheless easy to drink. In fact, it goes down quickly. Overall, I really enjoyed the balance of citrus and berry. It's highly flavorful and has a pleasing mouth feel.
