Pouring a cold 16 oz can into a snifter. The beer pours a relatively clear copper color with frothy bleached white head of 2 cm foaming up. There are several active streams of carbonation rising to the surface of my glass. The head fades slowly to a messy edge layer and one large island in the glass.
The aroma is some citrusy hops with orange and clementine notes dominant, this shifts to some dark chocolate and roasted coffee note, but the fruit is overall a more bold aroma. I don't get any sense of booze at this point.
The first sip reveals an average body with crisp texture and fine and tingly carbonation.
Pretty easy drinking physical traits on this beer.
The flavor is revealed as very citrusy with orange and tangerine and clementine sweetness up front. There is a bit of biscuity note and then some roasted hits come through on the finish. There is also a bit of dark chocolate mixed in but the citrus flavors are much bolder, just like the aroma predicts.
This is a decent beer and the orange notes and chocolate interplay nicely, Im glad to have tried this one.

 

The beer pours a nice white and foamy head that takes a while to dissipate. The beer itself is a decent medium orange amber that is hazy. It's nice to look at.

The smell and taste are very good. The smell seems to have a nice cocoa note dominating the other notes with a light orange hop note occasionally poking out. The taste is better with the coffee coming out and adding a slight bitterness that mixes well with the orange note.

The feeling is good. It's a medium body beer with fizzy carbonation.

Overall, a pretty good beer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hazy, murky orange. Quickly fading head leaves only a few spots behind on the glass. Smells like bubblegum coffee with a faint hint of chocolate. Tastes lightly sweet, bitter. Pretty good beer.

 

 

I gotta admit, I’m not a coffee guy but I do love coffee stouts and porters. So I’m curious with an IPA. Hazy straw color. Aroma is a little odd with coffee instead of a piney or citrusy nose that you typically expect. Coffee taste first followed by cocoa at the end. All in all better than expected.
