Bottle pour into nonic pint glass from Greg & Jane's Beer and Wine. Appearance is cloudy light brown/dark yellow, some sediment, no discernible sparkle, ring of off-white head. Aroma is caramel malt, bread, mild astringency. Taste is dominant caramel malt, nondescript fruity astringency, brown sugar, overripe fruit(?). Palate is light-to-medium bodied with thin, soft texture, finish as taste. Overall, tasty enough but a bit too malt-dominant for the style.

$3.25 bottle, Beer Run. Murky orange pour, small off-white head. Aroma is resin, some sort of stale hops, licorice. By the aroma, I know this isn't going to be my thing. Flavor is slightly better than the aroma. Lots of resin, stale hop flavor, but a bit of orange peel as well. I'd venture to say that this is below average.

Cocoa, caramel, and orange nose. Cloudy amber, medium yellow head. Caramel with orange peel on the edges. Mediym body, easy carbonation. Not the sort of thing I go for these days, but there was a time I would have enjoyed this. Tastes change.

Bottle from Wegmans. Huge grapefruit with more floral citrus like buntan, some pineapples, weedy resin, fresh mint. Very cloudy deep orange. Sweet and juicy, mostly pink grapefruit juice, some resin and herbs, honey and biscuits. Soft carbonation, silky. Strongly bitter, peppery. Likable but not quite right on NE style, which I guessed it was until I saw it was much older.

Older bottle shared by AdamC on 7/29/17.
Darker auburn-amber with a small, off-white head. High clarity.
Big red fruits, juicy and spicy orange, cherry and marmalade all provide plentiful flavor without any aggressivity. Lots of malt behind it, but it's not oxidized and it's not cloyingly sweet. Good balance, with no booziness and only a touch of pine lingering.
In the mouth it shows a mix of specialty malt and base malt for texture coming in moderately-soft, the low carbonation helping concentrate the sweetness and highlight the softness. Tons of cherry, orange, light pine and red grapefruit. Clean, on the sweeter side, but not offensively so, with juicy, fruity hops still readily apparent.

12 oz bottle from Candia Rd Slightly hazy deep golden color with a good sized long lasting frothy white head. Citrus pine and bread with bits of toffee and butterscotch bitterness. I was expecting more from this beer. Lingering bitter resinous aspirin alcohol and butter.

16 oz. dated 25 April, 17. Purchased at Greg and Jane’s Beer and Wine. Color a Crystal clear orange type appearance, thing spotty head in the glass. Aroma is weak danky pine, subtle tropical fruit, maybe caramel malts.
Flavor is pretty nice. The light pine/ dankness plays real nicely with the fruits. The malty backbone doesn’t become sticky sweet. Decent mouthfeel, not sticky or overly malty. The overall drinkable character is pretty nice, balance is nice.

On tap at JoJo’s Tavern in Mercerville, NJ. Hazy tawny gold pour has a brief small white head. Citrus hop nose is big on lemon, mango and apricot. Intense bittersweet malt flavor is quickly dominated by the abundant hop bill. Floral at first, then just downright bold citrus and danky. Boozy notes come through in middle reminding you that this should be sipped, not quaffed. Earthy, dry hoppy finish. A decent 2IPA.
