This classic American fresh hop IPA (6.7% ABV) was brewed with whole cone Cascade Hops grown and donated by our community in Richmond, VA. This beer was made with a large amount (72%) of Virginia-grown and malted Pale Ale malt by Murphy and Rude Malting in Charlottesville, VA. Some of the specialty malts added were Munich and Caramunich malts to give it a deep copper color and provide a balancing malt profile. The malt pairs well with the bright candied orange and resinous pine flavors and aromas from these awesome looking whole cone hops! Thanks to all for donating these delicious Cascade Hops!

On tap at Orzo.I killed the keg. Poured medium amber with a small head. Aroma was not strong - typical citrus hop aroma and a backing of malt. Taste was orange, lemon, citrus peel, caramel malt. Kind of ordinary.

Location: 750 ml bottle from my father, 12/22/13, 2013 Release
Aroma: The nose earthy and floral hops, some fruity notes, sweet caramel/toffee malts
Appearance: It pours a nice, clean orange color with a small head and minimal lace
Flavor: The taste is mid-sweet and mid-bitter, clean hop flavors, finishes a little more bitter
Palate: The body is medium, with an average-plus carbonation, some stickiness, and a dry finish
Overall Impression: I thought this was a solid IPA and a really cool concept beer, but it isn't quite up to being a great beer. Still, this is very worth trying. I'd love to try it super fresh to see if it is even better.

Had this on draft at the brewery, picked up a bottle but haven’t had the bottle version yet. This one poured a clear light copper color with a small off-white head. Aroma was nice citrus characters with a touch of pine in there too. Enjoyed this one a lot.
