Orange, lighter around the bottom than near the cap. A solid white sheet with decent lacing. Nose is sprightly orange with a musty British yeast. 

Smooth and creamy with a somewhat assertive hop profile. Orange glo cleaner mixed with lemongrass. Rounded by a toasted malt note and a dose of caramel. Toffee and slightly buttery directly follow. 

Good British style IPA, worthy of grabbing a bottle to try out. Attenuation and overall quality of brewing are apparent, while your tastes may lean one way or the other on the assertive hops in an English brew or the English hopping in an American IPA.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75

A: A dull but clear copper body with a chunky head.

S: Orange marmalade.

T: Very hop forward. Orange marmalade and resinous qualities. Has a harsh bitter snap. Burned toast is the malt character. It's quite harsh – not for sissies!

O: While not a bad beer it's a bit too agressive and not complex enough.

EDIT: It's listed as an English IPA but tastes extremely American to me.
