Commercial Description:
“The Name Says it All” Just Outstanding has an orange amber body that combines a zesty and bitter characteristic, a generous malty taste and an exquisite floral aroma – Oh yeah, this beer is really hoppy too!

Cloudy amber. Big rocky head. Earthy hop nose with a bright amarillo top note. A little spritzy but some nice mellow orangey hop notes in there. Finishes clean with sweet bready notes.

22oz bottle shared courtesy of jasonmech77. Poured a medium and slightly hazy amber color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of pine, citrus, and just all around hoppiness (nice). Tastes of pine, citrus, and caramel. This one wasn’t bad, wasn’t fantastic, it was ’Just Outstanding’. I gotta get me some more from this brewer.

Bottle... GIABMISGFAB... This beer rocks!... Cloudy golden ale with a small, creamy, white head. Excellent retention. The earthy, fruity nose is bursting at the seams with tropical and fuzzy fruits. Full-bodied and creamy with lively carbonation. Sweet, but balanced by juicy hop bitterness. Lengthy, bittersweet finish. Kudos to mcbackus for hosting the Spring Gansta Fling and Bling and for providing this beer!

Bottle: Clear golden color has a nicely-lacing frothy white head. Fresh, resiny, citrus hop nose has a light pale malty sweet balance and some peppery hops. Starts with good malty sweetness and big, fresh citrusy and piny flavor hops toward a drier, bittersweet, crisp finish. A nicely balanced and very drinkable IPA.

22oz bottle–pours a foamy light tan head that laces and hazy amber color. Aroma is citrus-grapefruit/lemon, peach, some sweet light malt. Taste is citrus-grapefruit/lemon with some bitter, some herbal/mineral, peach, back bone of light/medium malt-caramel. OK effervescence. Some English character. Enjoyable. Thanks to Joe-jwc215 for sharing.
