12 ounce bottle. Bright amber orange color. Large rocky beige head. Rich caramel malt nose with piney hops. Flavor follows the aroma. Rich caramel malt flavor with nice citrus hops. Complex spicy hops are the norm here. Chewy mouthfeel. Dry bitter finish. Delicious!

Bottle from Bierkompass.de. Dark amber, clear body, with a big, creamy, slightly beige head, that leaves some lacing. Aroma of flowers, grapefruit, tangerine, berries, passion fruit, fresh grass, some herbs, caramel. Tastes of dry grapefruit, flowers, pine, some tropical fruits, grass, herbs, caramel, some biscuit. Mouthfeel is medium, oily, with a medium carbonation and it finishes bitter, dry, with lemon zest, pine, grass, some weet malts and some fruits. Tasty! Pretty unique, not as fruity as other IPAs, but with interesting fresh grass, flowery and lots of malt notes. Greatly balanced and very quaffable!

12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, best before 12/30/2014. Pours fairly crystal clear deep orange/copper color with a 1-2 finger dense light khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a light amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big grapefruit, tangerine, apricot, lemon zest, orange peel, floral, grass, light pine, caramel, biscuit, light toast, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of bright citrus hop and moderate dark/bready malt sweetness; with good strength. Taste of big grapefruit. tangerine, apricot, lemon zest, orange peel, floral, grass, pine, caramel, biscuit, light toast, and floral/grassy earthiness. Moderate amount of pine/grassy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, apricot, lemon zest, orange peel, pine, caramel, biscuit, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity and balance of bright citrus/pine hops and moderate dark/bready malt sweetness; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a smooth, fairly creamy, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is an excellent IPA. All around great complexity and balance of citrus/pine hops and moderate dark/bready malt sweetness; and very smooth and crisp to drink. A very enjoyable offering.
