Pours a yellow, orange-red into a pint glass with ¼ inch white head. Fairly clear with only a tint of cloudiness. Smell of crisp hops accentuated with citrus. First sip is a bite of hoppy bitterness that does not fade. Nicely carbonated. A fine, fine Hoppy Ale. Bring on the Thai food!

Pours a hazy orangish bronze color with a small white head. Aroma of piney hops. Taste is also of piney hops, very bitter, but with a decent malt finish to small it out. I love this stuff!

Many thanks to Stine for this bottle. Excellent citrus and floral hop nose. Less hops on the body with a very sweet malt character.

Bottle. There is a lot going on in this beer, but the sum of the parts is less than the whole. Dark amber body with an off-white head that diminishes. The aroma is very nice presenting toasted grain, tangerine, lemon with notes of flowers and citrus and hints of apricot and honey. The flavor is lightly sweet and moderately bitter. Medium body with a watery texture and lively carbonation. The combination of aromas and flavors, though, are incompatible, leaving an off, slightly rubbery taste in the finish. Not a favorite.

The aroma is very hoppy with caramel, toffee, and yeast. The appearance is hazy amber with a nice head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is smooth. Overall it’s good!

Orange-amber pour with a creamy head that leaves a nice retentive cap. Good mix of floral and pine hops to the nose. The bitters mix well with the nice malt contingency and slight crisp citrus notes. Lingering bitterness peppers the back palate quite well. Mouthfeel is crisp, yet smooth and easy drinking. Carbo levels match the palate perfectly. This integrates very well, and is probably my favorite Tröegs offering yet. Complex enough, but simply a nice IPA.

12oz bottle: Bright amber pour with a thin white top. A really intense and bright hop experience meets the nose. Lemon, tangerine, fresh flowers, rosey perfume, candied orange and on and on. The body is full with caramel malts, balanced by a delicate bitterness that goes from rose petals to fresh squeezed fruit. Finishes sweet and citrusy. Very good.
