Bottle from Brattleboro, VT. Caramel body with thin white head. Citrusy and hoppy nose. Taste of hops, and some pines. Then gets a bit eggy. Nice and smooth. With hops coming back in the finish.

I think this is the beer I had on tap a few weeks ago at Blind Tiger. Very cloudy. Aroma of bitter citrus and seeds, leafy/herbal hops, big yeast character with some citrus esters and doughy/yogurt qualities, some clove. Flavor brings no surprises, kind of odd again with all the yeastiness and the hops at times have an aged feel to them. Odd citric-bitter finish. Again, odd, but ok.

22oz bottle. Pours a reddish hued color with a small off white head. Nose is lightly hoppy with a nice caramel malt scent. Palate is full and smooth, a light hoppy kick in the finish. Flavors of sweet caramel malt and some fresh, piney hops.

Love the cider/apple aftertaste, a nice surprise for an IPA, but wishing this had a higher gravity to it, it just seems that would work nicely for an IPA of this type.

<b>In short: </b>A drinkable but below average IPA
<b>How: </b>Bottle 22oz, drank relatively fresh, 2 months after purchase
<b>The look: </b>Partly cloudy dark golden body topped by a small but long-lasting white head
<b>In long: </b>Nose is heavy caramel and resinous hops. Crisp malted body with a crackers sensation. Lively carbonation. Resinous hops without much after-taste, Very dirty. A little paint flavour (?!). Light-medium astringency. Old overripe fruits. A little too much past due-date fruit juice. Not a very good IPA, below average actually but it felt like a masterpiece compared to their infected Oatmeal Stout that I had the day before which ironically tasted like the name of this one.

(Bottle). Sweet orange and tangerine aroma. Very cloudy orange-amber body, small off-white head. Flavor is sweet grapefruit, trace of caramel, that transitions to a delicious lengthy mildly bitter finish. Excellent, and wonderfully refreshing.
