Bottle. Yikes! This one was a complete foam bomb that took a full five minutes to subside. Big time sediment floats through this light orange ale with the everlasting head. Mild aroma and taste of bitter hop resins and grainy malts. Perhaps a touch of spice as well. Slightly stale aftertaste.

Impressed. Picked it up in a variety 6. Very decent IPA with a bit of a stale aftertaste but pleasant and no dishsoap. Always a plus, aight?

Pours a cloudy golden orange with a massive three-finger off-white head. Retention was excellent and left ample sheets of lacing. Aroma was big on light citrus with oranges and lemon zest dominating. Caramel malts are also present in the nose and a little bit of spices as well. The taste isn’t quite as good as the nose with the lemon taking on a bit of a sour kick up front and in the finish. The malts are present again but there is a slight acidity throughout the taste. The mouthfeel is light to medium with very high carbonation and little hop bitterness in the finish. This is a very drinkable brew for the warm weather with the dominant lemony hops.

Thanks to buckybeer for this one. Clear gold body with a tall, slightly off-white head. Clean citrus aroma. No hop flavor, very little malt flavor. Very watery.

Pours a cloudy orangish-red and looks a lot like apple-cider with a small white head. Very sweet and hoppy aroma with some fruity undertones. Flavors starts out very sweet and caramel followed by a quick hit of hops and some bitterness through the finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. A little sweet for an IPA but a nice middle of the road choice

Light copper with a small white head. Floral and citrus hops aroma. Flavor is a load of tart citrus and earthy bitterness with a hint of malt at the finish.
