Pours a hazy copper/amber from a bottle with lots of floaties. Floral nose, similar flavor, very European tasting somehow. Good beer.

slightly cloudy burnt orange. Piney and rindy and dank nose. Chewy oak and pine and slight hint of cheese. French bread, very astringent bitterness. Chewy pine cone.

12oz bottle from a Wegman’s in Buffalo, NY. An unattractive hazy amber pour with a tight cream head; aroma of stewed vegetables; soft sweet taste with some caramel and Belgiam yeast; and a dry vegetal bitterness giving a slightly rasping finish. Not at all good. Probably not an IPA.

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance has a hazy orange colored body with a one finger white head that died within thirty seconds. There was barely any lacing left and very little carbonation was seen rising.
The smell has some light pine and hops but there really wasn’t much there.
The taste has a sweet yet spicy blend that tingled in my mouth, not bad. The pine and hops came out with some lighter fruits in the taste.
On the palate, she sits about medium with a good smoothness. It had a moderate carbonation in the mouth.
Overall, this was a decent brew. I might have it again.

From a 12 oz bottle shared at home. Feint herbal aroma. Flavors of grass and mild citrus notes. Pretty mediocre IPA.

12 oz bottle from Bert’s Better Beers. Used a pint glass. Kind of a different nose here. Lots of malt does something to the hops or maybe because it’s an Organic brew. Simple and straightforward. Lots of malt and typical hop profile of grapefruit and grassy like notes. Decent.
