appears a clear dark orange golden color, white head. aroma of piney hops. similar taste, fairly bitter. thin to medium bodied.

 

 

 

 

A: The beer is slightly hazy amber yellow in color and has a moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a finger high dense white head that left a narrow collar around the edge, some small patches of bubbles on the surface and lots of lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of honeydew melon are present in the nose along with hints of pine.
T: The taste follows the smell and has additional hints of orange citrus with a light to moderate amount of bitterness. The flavors of pine are most prominent and linger into the finish.
M: It feels medium-bodied and a bit juicy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: I found the taste of this IPA to be quite complex. The fruitless and juiciness is a unique combination.

Serving type: can

Translucent gold, with slight orange tint. A little over one finger of white head, that leaves a ring, a thin surface sheet, and scattered spots and streaks of lacing.

Smell is mostly light pine and moderate green onion. Slight fruity aroma that is reminiscent of Juicy Fruit gum , but fresher. No specific fruit makes itself apparent.

Taste is similar to aroma , plus dried orange rind, with about a 50/50 ratio between the orange flavor and the rest of it. The green onion element is more subtle than in the aroma. Light lingering bitterness.

Feel is similar to an old-school DIPA, though this is lower abv than that. Light slickness and very,very fine carbonation tingle. Slightly drying finish that lingers long after. Could use a slight bit more carbonation.

Overall, this is enjoyable , but nothing special. I think the main issue is that nothing stands out, even compared to this brewery's other offerings. It's not exactly a WCIPA, but close enough, IF you're jonesing for that and nothing better/fresher is available. I'd guess that the best description I can give is that this is similar to a slightly dialed-back Enjoy By, "dialed-back" probably not being what one is looking for in that sort of thing, eh? ;)
3.75 is usually considered a good rating, buuuuut ........ most of Beer Tree's brews fall in the 4.25-4.50 range for me, you can see what I'm getting at. Eh.....try a single, or have a glass at the brewery - maybe this WILL do it for you. * shrug* :)

 

No canning date.
Orange label with a large hop cone and floating hand giving the ambiguous thumb and pinky wave - wtf does that even mean?
Super pretty, golden amber with a frothy head of white foam, lots of cling and lace, steady carbonation visible through the clear beer.
Aroma is sharply citrus - not a lot else going on. No sweet notes or grain hints just a spritz of zest.
The taste follows suit, distinct grapefruit and lemonheads - some malt depth comes forward but loses to the bitter almost sour bite of the hops. Hop rate isn't scorching or loud, it just has no malt backbone or grain character for balance.
Body is on the light side of medium and the finish is peppery dry.
ABV listed at 6.90210 - cute huh?
Not a bad IPA and not as citrus dominated as your average hazy NEIPA but not great and certainly not "Super" Pacific style at all.
