Commercial Description:
This Ale is brewed with the best of Old and New World hops. Then we infuse the aging tanks with a dry hop addition of Cascade and East Kent Goldings to bring home the hops! Expect this Ale to pour a glass brimming with rich caramel flavors along with an intense hop aroma

I drank this from the bottle into a chalice. It pours a dark orange, darkest IPA I’ve ever seen. It has a finger size head that is gone quickly, bad retention and retention. The aroma is light with bite of orange and lots of hops but nothing to strong. The taste is also light, a little to much so to make it great. The start is very strong citrus which is nice but the hops are really hiddened, they are but not a ton to keep me coming back. The mouthfeel is light but leaves an ok aftertaste. Its light tasting and hops are soft so it makes it decently drinkable.

Pours deep amber with creamy head that lasts. Aroma is floral, but not as hoppy as I would expect. Good malt characteristics and decent hopping to match. A decent IPA, but as good as some I have tried.

A mild hoppy experience. Medium clear amber color. Piney and a little orange in the flavor. Not overpowering. Medium texture with a pleasant palate experience.

From bottle - Pours a hazy, carbonated amber color, with a half-finger frothy white head. A good deal of lacing around the glass. Aroma is somewhat faint, but when i can get it, it is very nice. Carmal, piney hops take charge. Taste is a good IPA taste, the hops are there with the caramel, but not overly bitter. Body is good, not overly thick, but not watery either. Nice finish, alcohol taste with the piney hops. Very nice brew.

It’s an amber liquid topped by a frothy off-white head. The smell is a bit underwhelming. There’s some nice sweetly caramel malt, just not enough hops to live up to it. The flavor is better and really quite good. The malt is strong. The hops are bitter and flavorful. It’s not quite as full as the top IPAs in the country but still very good. I really like the feel quite a bit. It’s sort of frothy, sudsier than most IPAs. It’s a very drinkable beer with a good balance, if not quite enough flavor to really push it over the top.

Very, very good beer. Poured with a ginormous frothy, foamy, huge, light tan head with loads of lace. Color is a clear nice deep coppery amber. Aroma is very hoppy and not too much citrus. A little earthy. Flavor’s similar with good carmamel to hoppy bitter. Body is ok, perhaps a tad watery, but with good carbonation. Good finish. Satisfying. Very slight alcohol at the last. Could be a session.

Dark orange-red, off white foam. Nice grassy pine resin hop aroma, caramel. Taste is more spice, but still pine, resinous hops, and a solid caramel malt body.
