A - Ruby brown through light, murky brown up close. Lots of sediment floating through out and at bottom. Little bit of cling lace and ring.
S - Smells of fresh sweet hops and caramel hidden behind the hops, but BIG fresh sweet resinous aroma that kills most of any other smell. Kinda orangy but not in a traditional sense, more tropical orange and hops.
T - Crazy zesty orange tropical mixed with some hints of caramel or some brown style malts. Mainly a nice twist on ipa's, this one is different. Reminded me of fresh 15'th any BIPA from stone but a liile different on the side leading it more to an ipa, picture the 15'th BIPA with no toasty'ness and more hops "fresh hops".
M - Lower to medium carb, nice aftertaste of tropical orange flavors, not too dry.
O - Overall I was not expecting such a robust ipa, for a brown style ale, this is great. Always thought of brewing brown ipa up, but this takes the cut. Dude.... buy some quick, I can see this one going fast. This is not your normal ipa. THUMBS WAY UP!
