Can from Against The Grain. Clear deep golden body with a thin off-white head. Steady carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of orange and grapefruit. Flavour of orange peel and menthol. Medium body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. A solid IPA - bold and bitter. I hope to see more higher ABV beer from Pilot; the last few I remember have all been under 6% ABV.

Can from Appellation Wines.
Appearance - golden and clear with an off white head and steady carbonation.
Nose - brown bread, toffee and earthy.
Taste - dried orange going into marmalade shred. Burnt toffee and malt loaf.
Palate - close to medium bodied, dry and balanced bitterness.
Overall - good example of the style.
