Sampled on draft this beer poured an amber color with a huge creamy yellow-white head that left good lacing. The aroma was malty and sweet with mixed fruit and perfume. The flavor was tangy and bitter with leather, earthiness, pine and fruity hops. Somewhat boozy. Long finish. Moderately full bodied.

Tap at Max's in Baltimore, pours a lightly hazy orange with a ring of white head. Nose is very standard, orange, grapefruit, pine, soap. Flavor has some honey and grist, bitter orange, pine, soap. Bitter finish. Very run of the mill.

Undated bottle from the Box O Hops 12 pack, drunk 11/18/16.
Lightly hazy, copper-orange-golden body topped by a moderately well-retained, off-white head.
Strong tangerine juice, with orange rind, pineapple and alcohol in the nose signify another rather messy IPA from Ithaca, with not enough (no) maltiness behind it. None of the soft honey or wheat of a good NE IPA. Little to no juiciness and just a lot of coarse grain, alcohol and citrus.
Very strong, bitter, boozy body with resin on the end and again, not a malty texture. Grainy, husky and overly dry with light caramel and bread mixing with the tangerine and nectarine. Pineapple, pine, booze and spice linger on the finish.

Got this from butters_mcgee. 12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 10/9/2015. Pours lightly hazy deep golden yellow color with a 1 finger fairly dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of big grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, mango, papaya, lemon zest, orange peel, pine, light honey, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great complexity and balance of citrus/tropical hops, orange zest, and moderate pale malt notes; with good strength. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, mango, papaya, lemon zest, orange peel, pine, light honey, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Good amount of pine/citrus rind bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, mango, papaya, lemon/orange peel, pine, light honey, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Damn nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/tropical hops, orange zest, and moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Moderate amount of dryness from bitterness as well. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth and moderately sticky/resinous mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is an excellent DIPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/tropical hops, orange zest, and moderate pale malt flavors; and very smooth and easy to drink for the ABV. A very enjoyable offering.
