Appearance: clear golden yellow with a nice 1" head that falls to a spotty surface foam.

Smell: orange and a bit of floral and woody tones are picked up.

Taste: caramel, orange, a hint of pine, and a bit of a floral bitterness finishes it off.

Mouthfeel: medium bodied beer. Crisp throughout with some dryness arriving late.

Overall: this was a well balanced and tasty beer. Mildly refreshing too.

Poured into a crevoise glass.

Look: Opaque deep burnt straw yellow colored body; meringue-white head that recedes to a decent film with lacing in the shapes of animals -- not kidding.

Aroma: Loads of peach and apricot fruitiness in front of a rather boozy, spicy center. The finish brings bubblegum sweetness. Interesting array of aromas.

Taste: Hot alcohol up front, boozy and warm that opens up to cedar spice, piney wood, and only vague tropical fruit.

Mouthfeel: Heavy and warm.

Overall: The aroma was an amazing journey but the rest of the beer is like pure alcohol that destroys the lighter flavors.

Really really REALLY good beer! An ipa to compete against any. They knocked it out of the stinking park on this one. Love it! Will actively seek this out.
