12oz bottle. Deep toffee orange-brown color, looks filtered. Foamy head, fresh stuff. Strong but not astringent orange citrus hop aroma. Rich and malty with a solid hop assault. Really captures a lot of the IIPA characteristics without the high alcohol. Excellent beer.

Nice hop aroma, with the caramel backbone supporting it. Pours a clear, nice reddish amber, with a cap of off white head. Nicely balanced, not quite as hoppy as the aroma led me to believe. Very nicely balanced, and easy to drink. Nothing extraordinary, but a solid beer.

12oz bottle. this one sat around for too long and is defl one on my re-rate list....biscuity caramel malt with little to no head at all...flavors continued along the same line but there was some hop presence due to a light bitterness towards the finish. good mouthfeel overall....just need to try this one fresh instead of 8 months old.

Bottle courtesy of bvc. Pours a murky medium amber with a 2 finger cream head. Awesome lacing on this one. Nose is mostly caramel malt with some sweet citrus. Taste is caramel, toffee and sweet ripe citrus with a fairly mellow resin finish. A little more malt profile than I like upfront, but it’s pretty good and more balanced than its west coast counterparts. Medium, creamy mouth feel. Thanks Brandon!

Bottle. Poured a rusty amber with minimal, but lacy, off-white head. Hops slightly edge out caramel malt in the aroma. It’s misleading, though, because the hops in the flavor profile are much more muted. Still, you get a fair share of pine, citrus, and spicy hops on a bed of sweet caramel malt. Very drinkable, but fairly timid overall.
