Growler thanks to riversideAK (thanks Alex!). Pours a clear dirty orange with a small white head. Aroma of piney and grassy hops with nice malt. Flavor has a little more bitterness, some sweet tropical fruits, and crackery malt. Very tasty and I’m glad I got to have a few pints of this! One of the best IPAs I’ve had. 8/5/9/5/18 (4.5/5)

Tap @ Bailey’s Taproom... Poured a burnt orange with a white head. Floral hops and citrus on the nose. Lots of carbonation. Very fruity with floral, earthy hops and became a little sour with the bitterness. Was then balanced by a very grainy finish.

Bottle. Poured a slightly hazy medium orange color with a white head. Big caramel aroma accented by whiffs of graham cracker and citrus. Light to medium bodied and slightly sweet with graham, toffee, and citrus flavors. Nice IPA.

Thanks to bvc for the growler! Poured hazy, deeper orange with a well-retained short cpa of white head. The aroma was malty with honey, molasses, and richer caramel notes.. floral and darker resiny fruit accents.. just a hint of green apple deeper down. The flavor opened with caramel, honey, and brown sugar notes, with floral and earthy bitterness rolling in.. a little sharper on the back-end with nice balance between the thick sweetness and moderate bitterness. Rather heavily-bodied with lower carbonation on the palate.. maltier than expected, but the hop profile was nice.. the green apple re-emerged, and I’m wondering if it’s a slight growler-related infection. Either way, tasty and very drinkable.
