Beautiful pour with a dense, finger width head and a darker amber color. Quite dark for an IPA. Not very bubbly.
The aroma is of caramel and bread with a citrus hop character. The flavor follows with more of a caramel malt base than most IPAs. The hops are there in high quantities, and quite delicious, but this has a richer malty character than most in the style. It had some Scotch or amber ale characteristics. I really enjoyed the flavor and their take on the style. There was still a decent bitter finish however slightly smoothed by the caramel malts.
The mouth feel is medium, slightly syrupy (in a good way). Not overly carbonated at all.
This is an IPA that I really liked. I appreciated the liberties the brewer took with the style despite the contrast to the hop forward IPAs I usually prefer. Serious hop-heads may be a little critical, but perhaps not. A Hopslam it is not, but instead a lovely balanced IPA.

Strong orange smell. Excellent citrus flavor, yet nicely happy. Cloudy yellow orange in color. I want more.

Poured a copper color with orange highlights. It had a thick, two-finger head of off-white foam. It smelled of grapefruit, citrus and hints of bubblegum. There was a nice caramel malt smell, too. It tasted of roasted malt with mild grapefruit and bubblegum flavors. It was crisp and very sharp.
