12 oz. Clear, orange-copper with a thick creamy head that lasts forever. Aroma of earthy honey, orange, and slight resin. Flavor is a complex mixture of tea leaf, sweet orange, resin, earthy nut and cocoa, dried wood and green herbs. Light-medium body is soft, smooth, slightly dry, and highly drinkable. Vastly underrated and a shame it’s retired.

bottle. small tan fizzy head (quickly and almost fully dissapating) head into murky bronze body. pretty decent lacing. aroma is moderate citrus hops and moderate caramel...something else there that I can’t decipher. flavor is bitter throughout. flat carbonation. long finish duration. dry texture. not a bad IPA.

(cleaning out my beer bottle collection as pictured in my profile and utilizing ratebeer.com) As I recall, this was a pretty good IPA.

Some citrus flavor dominates this with a little pine in there...not bad, did not find the hops super strong...did not love this beer but it was fine
