Poured a clear dullish orange color with a moderately thick off-white head. Nice citrusy fresh-cut navel orange aroma - doesn’t have the sharp kick or strong aroma of a NW IPA, but still a pleasant smell. Taste has an earthy hop character to it, with the malts being right behind the hops. Floral finish. Not too shabby.

Light citrus and floral hops with some malts mixed in. Cloudy orange color with a small white head. Moderate amount of lacing. Moderate hops in the beginning finishing with mostly malt flavor. Creamy palate.

This brass-colored brew has a sweet, tangy, hoppy aroma. A solid malt base with pleasant, complex hops. It is forceful, but not harsh, with a mildly bitter aftertaste. This has just the right amount of floral sweetness all the way thru. It is definitely a superior hoppy ale - anchors away!

Six-pack from Total Wine; Thanksgiving Day. Pours a minute 1/3-inch off-white head over a light amber body. Loose, oily lacing. Sweet and floral aromas of hops and grains. Flavors of floral resinous hops, mild caramel and malt, green grapes, wheat, and very subtle citrus. Thin/medium carbonation and medium/full body. Finishes clean and slightly rounded on the palate. Well-balanced hops and malt. Slightly better than the average IPA.

12oz pour with little head and lots of aroma, all hops. Nice orange/copper color. The nose reminds one of DFH 90 Minute. Taste is similar too. This is less abv than the 90 Minute but seems hotter with a little less malt backbone.. A nice double IPA and not overpriced, yet.

Poured a nice orange amber color with a white head that had good lacing. Aroma was a mix of pine and citrus. Flavor had a nice spicy hop note and a well balancing citrus malt note. Finish was crisp and clean. Easy to drink and carbonation was at a minimum. Palate was moderate.
