16 oz. Can
Canned On: 12.23.25

Poured into a Tree House glass a pretty nice clean/clear golden yellow color, pretty nice carbonation, with a pretty nice thick/creamy one-finger plus off-white head, which also leaves some pretty nice sticky lacing behind. The nose is pretty nice, hoppy, malty, with a pretty nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, pineapple, grapefruit, guava), pretty nice pine/diesel like. The taste is pretty nice, hoppy, malty, with a pretty nice citrus complex (orange, tangerine, pineapple, grapefruit, guava), pretty nice pine/diesel like. Medium Body, ABV is hidden very nicely, with a nice dry/bitter finish. Overall, this is a pretty tasty beer.

Thanks, Nick!

Was lucky enough to get this beer and a bunch of others from Nick on a recent work trip to Colorado Springs, Colorado. Couldn’t really find a description but hops mentioned were Centennial, Citra and Mosaic. And it’s Outer Range, so it had to be good.

Poured a medium amber clear color with 3-to-4 fingers of rocky white head. Could see some bubbles coming up along the sides of the glass. Perfect layered lacing. Almost perfect foamy retention. (Sight - 4.75)

Smelled Centennial, lime, pine, earthy pilsner malt, lemon, herbal, menthol, grapefruit and a touch of Citra. Really not much Mosaic. Better out of the can. (Smell - 4.00)

Tasted about as good as the nose, maybe slightly better. In order got Centennial, pine, earthy malt, aspirin, lemon, herbal, menthol, Citra and Mosaic (only because I know it was in there). (Taste - 4.00)

Medium body. Creamy texture. Average carbonation. Long, bitter finish. (Feel - 4.50)

A pretty damn good West Coast IPA. This one grew on me each sip. (Overall - 4.25)

Pours a dark orange with a light fog to the transparency. Head is a finger of white foam. Aroma is pineapple, orange zest, mango, and lemongrass with earthy malts for support. Leans sweet. Flavor profile is orange zest, pineapple, mango, tangerine, and earthy and bready malts. Mouth feel is crisp with a medium thickness. It has a refreshing texture and feel. Overall, crisp, and refreshing with a lovely pan flash of hops.

Draft. Reviewed from notes.

Clear, dark gold body; nice carbonation; thick and frothy white head. Nice aroma; herbal, a little vegetal; mild spiciness. The taste amps up some of the smell qualities; moderate sweet malt base flavor; fairly bold spicy and bitter qualities; earthy flavors throughout. Medium body; crisp; dry mouthfeel overall.

A nice but somewhat rough west coast India pale ale. The beer is not quite clean with its taste. There's no off-flavor per se, just a slightly heavy-handed quality to things. The looks and bitterness are top notch.

Poured at 44 °F; no canning data seen.

 

L - almost clear as day, not a hazy, a west-coaster. Decent head, better lacing.
S - oooh hello tropics meet pine forest; great blend here of mostly Centennial and Citra and a dash of Simcoe.
T - Great west coast bitterness, with some tropical-citrus smoothness, just right. I dig it.
F - Good carbonation, but not overly fizzed; didn't bloat me up like some IPAs.
O - a fantastic IPA from ORB, refreshing to have a non-hazebruh option coming out of Frisco. Hopefully produced MORE.
