12oz can. Pours a hazy burnt orange with an inch of head. Some lacing. Smell is sour with some malts and faint orange hop aroma. The taste is mostly of malts, caramel, floral hops and some orange. Flowery finish. Little bitterness for an IPA. A bit watery. Drinks well for but alot of that has to do with the low ABV. Overall, nothing to see here.

Serving type: can

I am really surprised with the low “71” rating on this beer. I only had a sample at O’Rielly’s in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania but I was impressed. There is a lot of complex hopiness going on with this beer. I got a nice spicy peppery front end then a solid sweet finish. For only 4 plus / minus ABV it has a good balance. Now, the bartender did say this was this first poor of the day but I can’t believe oxidation from sitting in the lines would have improved this beer.

Serving type: on-tap

I am really grateful that I have not had this beer before. At least I'll get a tick out of the deal. (I didn't check to see, but thought it was new to me.)

Thin and watery with a hop influence that shows and disappears rather quickly. Thin is the word that keeps coming to mind. And there is a dirty aftertaste with some odd orange on there. Dirty and thin. That sums it up for this one.
