look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5

Poured from a bottle into a glass, served cold.

Turbid honeycomb yellow with a thinnish white head that leaves tatters of lacing.

A lovely aroma of oranges, nutmeg, coriander.

Mouthfeel is full

medium malt body with grapefruit and lovely spiciness. Grapefruit reasserts itself on the finish.

Wow! Hands down the best Saranac beer I have ever had. Will buy again.

3.3/5  rDev -12.5%
look: 3.75 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.25

Served in a pint glass.

Appearance: Cloudy orange-yellow, pale in color with a thick head din the beginning rising to just over two thirds of an inch(white). Don't know if it's my batch but sediments are pretty apparent over the body.

Smell: Light sour lemon scent with compliments of yeast...smells good but super light like I said before.

Taste: A sour bitterness to it. You feel hops with a burst of lemon and light grapefruit giving a sweet feel. Has some yeast properties to it not bad but nothing really good either somewhere in the middle.

Mouth: Medium, citrus finish at the end feels like lemon peel.

Overall: Picked up in a sampler, but don't think I would actually buy a pack of it itself. Good to have but wouldn't say it I would keep having it. Still satisfies....Salud!

3.66/5  rDev -2.9%
look: 3.75 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.75

Appearance: Thickly cloudy. Yellowish orange. Leaves a small lace of head.
Smell: Grapefruit, orange, and tangerine.
Taste: Light grapefruit and citrus.
Mouthfeel: Fairly carbonated.

It looks like a Creamsicle in color. The cloudiness is thick, but it's pretty. The smell predominately reminds me of grapefruit-flavored cough drops, but not in a bad way. The orange and tangerine is quite nice. The taste is only slightly less enjoyable than the smell, but it's a good taste. The carbonation fills the mouth entirely. This is an interesting IPA, especially its appearance. I like it. I would definitely drink this again, but it'd be because it came in a sampler.

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3 | overall: 4

Looking at this, you ask yourself: "This is an IPA?!" Unfiltered, opaque golden (almost orange) color with bit more head than usual. The stream of carbonation adds a nice touch. Fruity, floral, citrus notes. You can definitely discern the orange peel and coriander used. In tasting, you're hit with an intense orange citrus note and the bitterness from the hops. Consistent over the palate. Good beer.
