Pours a clear coppery orange with a dense off white head that laces well. Aroma is very citrusy, spicy with hints of pine and soap. Flavor is more citrus and pine, a slight toasted maltiness, some burnt rubber, and a solid lasting bitterness. Medium bodied, resinous, full carbonation.

Pours a pretty copper golden color with a thick white foamy head. Aroma and taste was citrus and piney hops. Nice bitterness with a crisp bite. Very enjoyable IPA.

POurs copper with a lasting thick off-white head. Nose is huge sticky pine, some floral aromas, hints of citrus and sweet caramel. Flavor is pine forrest, bitter pungent dank hops, semi sweet malts. I look forward to this one every year.

Bottle. Pours yellow/orange with a white head. Lots of pine and citrus, bitter hops flavor all the way through. I’ve had this in previous years and remember it being even more hoppy.

Pours a nice orange-amber with a small white head. Aromas of pine, but also of citrus. Taste is of pine and citrus while the finish is on the bitter end. Great beer by Sierra Nevada. Too bad that this is just a winter seasonal.
