This beer is lookin beautiful in my snifter right now. brilliant and vibrant orange color with a thin ring of head retention and moderate lacing.

I brought out my snifter just for this, to really bring out the aroma and this IPA is not lacking any. really appealing smells of orange and grapefuit take charge, maybe even pineapple. enticing to say the least.

Tastes like all above smells wrapped inside of hops with some malt on the side.

This has a fairly light-medium bodied creamy feel to it that beckons you to savor the flavors.

I could drink a lot of these...good price as well which really makes this stand out to me. Cheers!

Extremely easy to drink. Perfect balance, clean taste, no heaviness. Poured from a bottle into a tall glass -- medium head, nice, light amber appearance, not too fizzy. No distinctive aroma. The bitterness is just right, refreshing and stimulating. It's just lacking some heft or intensity -- the aftertaste is a bit watery .

bottle to goblet

A: clear, light orange/copper. very little head, retreats quickly to edge the glass and slight lacing.

S: almost no smell. very faint citrus and pine

T: moderate hit of piney hops accompanied by a fizzy carbonation. not followed by much of anything except lingering bitterness and more pine. the alcohol is right there in your throat at the end.

M: quite a lot of carbonation, low - medium body. goes down smooth and the lingering feel in your mouth is good

O: I prefer a bit more complexity, taste and balance but it packs a good hit of decent tasting hops. not my favorite but drinkable.
