Bottle, 65cl - Amber orange beer with an off white head. Aroma is malty with notes of spices, ripe fruits and some citrus. Flavor is sweet malty with fruity notes of oranges, peaches and lovely notes of American hops. Full bodied, balanced with a nice bitter finish.

Bottled. The aroma is full of grapefruit hops, some caramel. Yellow coloured beer with an off-white head. The taste has again citrus (grapefruit), is moderately bitter for an IIPA and it has some caramel. Slightly carbonated. okay.

Wow. A real hop presence right from the bottle open. Sweet caramel malt, citrusy candy aroma and taste. Really odd but good. This is a good company!!

Bomber shared at the Butters’ 1500 tasting. Pours a brilliant clear golden orange with soapy near white head and good legs and decent lacing. Nose of pine and eathy floral hops with a bready quality that I’m not sure comes from yeast. Flavor is even better, with a sweet vanilla, honey, floral hops, with a lingering semi-bitterness. VERY GOOD.

Pours a tinted a light brown yellow color. Smells of dried pine needles, lush light malts, and honey suckle. Wonderful palette. Very mouth watering. Nice malt/hop balance. Nice spiced fruit finish. Kind of like a cinnamon bananas foster. Great beer. Just really pleasant and easy to drink. Not quite the best IPA ever. Still its in the tier right below that.

Bottle shared by JoeTheYounger. Pours a hazy orange color with a lacing off white head. Aroma has a bunch of caramel and a touch of honey balanced by a nice citrus hoppiness. Flavor has some fresh fruits, caramel sweetness and good smooth bitterness with some citrus and pine. Palate is full and smooth carbonation provides some creaminess. Another tasty one from Southern Tier.
