Jan 2, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Pours a slightly hazy amber color with a small ivory colored head. The aroma is a huge blast of orange peel and grapefruit with the slightest hint of sweet malt. I hope that there is more malt in the flavor to balance things a bit. There was a bit more caramel malt in the flavor, but not much. This is still dominated by the orange citrus hops. The bitterness comes through in the finish. Medium bodied, solid drinking offering from Tyranena.

The flavor is only mildly bitter, but there’s plenty of orange citrus hops with some lightly caramel malts. Mouthfeel is medium bodied. Just a really great easy drinking IPA. Plenty of hops to go around.

Dec 31, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a dark copper body with a beautiful creamy one finger beige head that retained well and left lots of sticky lacing. Nice clean citrusy hop nose with a just a suggestion of sweet caramel maltiness. The flavor is only moderately bitter, but there’s plenty of citrus rind hoppiness. Nice toasty and lightly caramel maltiness below. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a really great balance between the sticky resiny hoppiness and sweet mouthcoating malt. Just a really great easy drinking IPA. Plenty of hops to go around, but not one dimensional at all.

Thanks! Pours a golden orange color with a small head, decent
head retention and nice lacing. The citrus comes through in the
aroma along with strong citrus and mint hop notes. Very strong
orange taste with leafy and minty hops. Slightly sticky and
medium bodied.
