From tap at the brewpub. Pours almost clear and golden orange with a fully gone head. Orange fruity hops aroma. Sweet flavoured, light fruity note at first followed by a more solid and bitter hops base. Good sweet malt base into the far finish.

22oz bottle acquired in trade with Larry_Pitonka (thanks!). Poured a medium and cloudy golden / amber color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas of pine, somewhat earthy, and a trace of citrus. Tastes of pine and citrus. Also has a sweeter side to it (almost like a sweet juicy orange).

Pours copper with a thin white head. Smells of citrus, wheat germ, earthy. Tastes astringently bitter and soapy with a thin watery mouthfeel.

22oz bottle. Lightly cloudy golden wheat colored body with a white head. Nose of dry pine scented hops, some pine wood and some peanuts - but overall light and hoppy, with just a lttle dried fruit. Flavor: nutty, sour grains, putrid old hop leaves mixed with nuts and butter, astonishingly horrid sour, moldy peanut flavor... malt presence is minimal as it should be in IPA, but the sort of chemical nut flavors are hard to ignore.

Not a very drinkable brew. Hazy, pale amber in body with a with a ring-around-the-glass for a head, it has a pungent, earthy aroma atop some sweet caramel with traces of floral and orange zest. The flavor is also earthy with some sweet malt and old grapefruit peels. It finishes on a dirty, bitter note - not very pleasant.

Bottle: Orange color, nice white head and nice lacing. Nose of pale malt and stale grassy hops, some citrus and yeast. The flavor is semi-bitter but unbalanced, a bit grassy, finishes stale, meh. Tinny and lacking dimension. Sucky?
