16oz can. Poured out a clear, golden orange color with a small, khaki-colored head of foam. It left sticky rings of lace on the glass. Smelled of toasted caramel, toffee, orange, pineapple and some resin. Sweet tropical fruit taste with toasted caramel and a piney bitterness.

 

 

 

 

 

Poured from a 16 oz. can. Has a rich golden color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is full of fresh grapefruit. Taste is grapefruit, orange peels, a touch of pine, moderate bitterness. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is a quality old school AIPA.

16 ounce can, canned on 08/06/2020. Served in a pint glass (which apparently is a Craft Master One glass or looks close enough to one after I Googled it), the beer pours a clear dark gold color with about an inch off-white head. Head retention and lacing are both pretty good. I like the aroma, the brew smells like tropical fruit, orange, mango, grapefruit and some bready malt. Taste is pretty much just like the aroma, but there's also some piney hops and citrus peel flavors noticeable too. Slight bitterness in the finish. Mouthfeel/body is medium, it's a bit creamy and coating and has a good amount of carbonation. I liked this IPA a lot, definitely worth trying if you come across some!

An excellent brew. A wonderful balance of grains for a satisfying, flavorful, experience. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised at the flavor of this brew. When opened it had a very hoppy aroma that was neither weak or overbearing. There was no heavy carbonation. There was very little of a foamy-head when poured. It had a nice smooth feel when drank and, again, not heavy on the carbonation. The flavor of the hops was well-balanced. Certainly a beer I would recommend to anyone visiting Twin Oast Brewing. Would go well with grilled burgers and smoked sausages.

As part of a flight, a good looking ale with a decent smell and IPA taste. Somewhat sticky feel, good, but not a standout.
