12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 10/12/2015. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy golden amber color with a 2 finger dense and rocky off white head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Aromas of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, lemon zest, orange peel, pine, light caramel, toasted bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of bright/dank citrus/floral/piney hops and light-moderate bready malt notes; with good strength. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, lemon zest, orange peel, pine, light caramel, toasted bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Moderate amount of pine/grassy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, lemon/orange peel, pine, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness, complexity, and balance of bright/dank citrus/floral/piney hops and light-moderate bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Good amount of dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, crisp, and moderately sticky/resinous mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with zero warming present after the finish. Overall this is a very nice wet hopped American pale ale style. All around very good robustness, complexity, and balance of bright/dank citrus/floral/piney hops and light-moderate bready malt flavors; and very smooth and crisp to drink. A very enjoyable offering.

Pours an amber from a bottle, white head. Aroma of grapefruit, somewhat grassy. Taste is somewhat reminiscent of Pine-Sol, but in only the best way possible. Good beer.

From bottle to glass. Rich caramel malt is overt. Minimal forest floor. Clear amber with a small white head. Taste is full malt with faint citrus. A good, malty beer.

Bottle. Dingy Amber pour with lots of carbonation and a medium head. Aromas are weakly dusty with a little grass and citrus. Flavor follows suite. This is not a very assertive hops presence and it comes off much more like an amber ale than an ipa. A little grass and spice with a hint of grapefruit and then a fizzle.

Sample at 1808 American Bistro. Pours a dark orange-amber color with a medium off-white head that recedes quickly to an outer ring. Short strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of pine, hops and malt. Light to medium body with flavors of grassy hops, toasted malt and pine. The finish is mildly bitter with a short grassy hops aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

An orange amber ale with a thin off white head. In aroma, biscuit malt with green hops, floral, light dough notes. In mouth, a nice caramel with grassy floral hops, green and fresh, nice. On tap at Iron Monkey, Dec. 31 2012.

Bottle. Cloudy deep amber body. Frothy, off-white head, mostly lasting. Aroma of raw, dusty grain, leafy resinous hops, pine, grapefruit. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. It finishes lightly sweet and moderately bitter. Medium body, smooth texture, lively carbonation. Taste of husky grain, resin, pepper — like so many other resin bombs.
