Bottle shared by Kyle, thanks! Pours a clear gold with a slight orange hue with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has stale citrus and blood orange with grains backing. Flavor has earthy citrus and grains with bread and a bit if blood orange underlying.

Overripe orange nose. Clear amber, chunks of sediment, medium yellow head. Artificial strawberry, cocoa, orange. Medium body, easy carbonation. Rather artificial and not the flavor advertised. Enjoyable but strange.

Clear amber pour with a large khaki head and good retention. Light lacing. Very hoppy and bitter taste buffered by a slight orange background flavor. Can’t hide the high hops bitterness.

12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 4/11/2016. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy golden orange color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of big blood orange, grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, mango, lemon zest, orange peel, citrus rind, pine, light honey, toasted bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/tropical/pine hops, blood orange, and moderate bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big blood orange, grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, mango, lemon zest, orange peel, citrus rind, pine, light honey, toasted bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Moderate pine/citrus rind bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of blood orange, grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, mango, lemon/orange rind, pine, toasted bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Damn nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/tropical/pine hops, blood orange, and moderate bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero astringent hop flavors after the finish. Moderate dryness from bitterness as well. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately sticky/resinous, and fairly creamy/grainy balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a very nice fruited IPA. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/tropical/pine hops, blood orange, and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth and refreshing to drink. A very enjoyable offering.
