Had this on tap at the pub in providence. It pours a thick off white head and from the look of it, it had a cloudy orange yellow color. But the lighting in the bar itself was not that bright. But the nose was very floral and had some nice citrus in the aroma as well. The initial flavor was nice and bitter leaving a lasting impression on your palate. You can really taste the orange peel and citrus hops that were used. Overall it has an enjoyable flavor and a refreshing after taste.

A solid IPA, but as with many other BBC beers I was looking for a gold medal here and did not get it. This is a low silver/high bronze for me. I would almost pefer a Harpoon IPA over this, but the craft is still impressive.

(Bottle). Aroma is aggressively of oranges. Color, likewise is orange, with a moderate white head. Flavor is mild for an IPA, and less hoppy bitter, but certainly pleasing, and yes, dominated by tangy oranges. Enjoyable and different.

A golden ale with a thin white head. A light caramel malt, with very herbal hops, light Belgian ale notes. In mouth, a crisp malt with pungent hops, light caramel, slight signs of oxidation. Medium bodied. Tasted around Jan 2007.

Date: 08/16/08, 22 oz. bottle.<br /> <br />Aroma - Light caramel and brown sugar, some piney and and citrusy hops in the background. <br /> <br />Appearance - Clear amber pour, sturdy and sizable off white head, with durable lace. <br /> <br />Flavor - Solid sweet malty base with a gradually building hoppy bitterness. Not overly assertive, but food balance of flavors. <br /> <br />Palate - Medium body and carbonation, some stickiness, but still softly dry.<br /> <br />Overall - A pretty decent IPA, not aggressively hopped, but more malt influenced.
