Courtesy of ygtbsm94. Thanks for sharing, Brad! Gold, foamy white head. Soft pine and grapefruit zest aromas ride a light foundation of toasty malt throughout. Bright bitter citric-pine flavors round with a touch of back end sweet malt. Has a light Pliny tone to it. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, moderately bitter finish. A very nice session IPA…

Draft at O’Brien’s. Awesome Aromas seeping out of this golden orange brew. Sweet citrus... Orange, Ruby Red Grapefruit. Light Pineapple. Flavors were citurs at first with a piney/grassy finish. Very good.

Bottle, generously shared by NachlamSie. Pours orange with long-lasting light beige head. The aroma is nice, dank, herbal hops with a strong tangerine and lemon verbena note. The flavor is smooth, but assertive hops. Tangerine, pine, assorted herbs, and an excellent level of bitterness. There’s a little bit of honey and toast behind it for some balance. The finish is fruity and hoppy and tasty. Great beer.

Tap at O’Briens. Had this side by side with their IIPA as well as a few others. Ligher amber body than the IIPA, as well as a less assertive aroma. Still, this didn’t mean much. Huge piney citrusy aroma. I really strugged to detect where the hops were from for some reason... no idea. This IPA was different from a lot I’ve had from Cali. Still really hoppy and bitter and I thought it was well balanced as well.

A golden color with a small soapy head. The aroma is hoppy with some lemons and perfume. The flavor is somewhat bitter with some lemons, oranges, and a hint of pine. The aftertaste is bitter as well. The palate is a bit thin but overall this is a nice IPA if not a complex one.

pour is orange gold with a nice lasting white head. the kind of aroma i can lose myself in. the hops are coming at me from all different directions. piney, yep, grassy, a bit, citrus, yeah that is there, herbal, well, maybe not, but this smells awesome. resiny malt flavor that worjks a great balance. the tightrope is walked with skill. citrus comes out strong but never dominates too much. a great fing beer.

Thanks to Bman1113VR for the bottle! Bottled 7/9/08. Slightly hazy gold pour, fluffy white head and excellent lace. Citrusy/ piney hop aroma. Clean, chewy, and resinous mouth-feel. Light bodied and quite refreshing. Loads of citrusy hop flavor. Bitter & dry finish. Lingering flavor of nectarine.

Richmond Summer Gathering. 500ml bottle - not sure who brought this one. Clear golen orange with a white head. AMAZING nose - a hop festival! Mild malts barely standing behind a wall of hop scents - grassy, orange citrus, herbal... just WOW. Dry floral flavors, grassy with light caramel. Somehow, the flavor never delivers on the promises of the fantastic nose. Still, a really good IPA.
