16 ounce can from Free Will Brewery Tap Room in Lahaska, Pennsylvania. Clear, amber orange color. Large, frothy beige head. Mild toasted malt aroma. Flavor is bittersweet toasted malt with notes of grapefruit and caramel. Some resiny, earthy notes in the long, bitter finish.

So this one smells nice & has a decent creamy mouthfeel. Unfortunately it is quite unbalanced. A big burst of bitter citrus on the finish. On its own I am not a fan....the only way to get it down is a side of fries. The fries balance it out.

Very crisp and clear deep amber, copper and bronze coloured body with an ugly, large-bubbled and oily tan head that stays afloat nicely, but at only one centimetre tall or so. Aroma of toffee, caramelised sugars, bright citrus, relatively pungent hops and some light tropical fruits with a light candy sweetness as well. Medium-bodied; Strong rich toasted malt and strong nutty, earthy and grainy notes dominate with a great layer of pungent, enjoyable hops that show a lot of alpha acids and bitterness, with pine, grapefruit and resin. Aftertaste is relatively straight-forward, but the toasted malts, caramelised sugars and deep nuttiness seem to almost overpower the hops, which are strong as well, but are understated seemingly, compared to the malts. Overall, a nice, fairly earthy IPA with a good balance and deep nuttiness that also hits some citrus fruits at the end. Nice to sample from the brewery, but not my favourite overall, due to the earthiness, which just isn't my favourite. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Ye Old Spirits Shop in Frederick, Maryland on 29-November-2020 for US$4,04 just after cutting down the family Christmas tree, sampled at my house here in Washington on 17-December-2020, just eight days before Christmas.

12oz bottle poured into glass mug. Clear orange gold color. Head retention for a while. Aroma is strong with hops and some bitterness. Hops smell like nicely fresh new type hops, not juicy but lively and fruit centric. A little lemon hoppiness and light pledge but doable. Flavor is a bit more bitter than aroma. A thicker, lightly sweet white bread maltiness. I had very low expectations for this beer but it was much better. The maltiness covers up the bitter hops a bit.

From a fridge I suppose: pours light amber with a white head. Aroma is stupid malts with a grapefruit hint. Taste is stupid. Too malty. Tastes like an old IPA but I do not think it really is. Stop.

On tap at Pizza Boy, pours a clear, burnt orange with some creamy, white head. Nose has butterscotch, orange, grains. Flavor has chewy grains, orange, butterscotch, caramel. Creamy finish. Too sweet.

At a tasting, thanks Tom C, small stable creamy bubbly head, hazy orange colour, light citrus and malt aroma with some yeast and wood, light bready flavor which becomes stronger in time, with a light metallic bitterness, light body. Not interesting and not true to the style.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Ariel’s place. Thanks Tom C. Hazy deep golden. Hoppy aroma of tropical fruits, a zesty note, flowers, a soapy note and a malty touch. Dry-ish flavor with a bit of malt sweetness, fruity hops and moderate bitterness. Medium-bodied.

Bottle at home in Salisbury, CT - picked up at New Beer in NYC. Pours lightly unclear, shiny gold with a rich, frothy off-white head. Some bready malts on the nose with hints of crystal and caramel, also hoppy notes of ripe orange and sticky pine. Medium sweet flavor with resinous hops, some grainy bread, earthy and piney bitterness, some graham cracker and toasted caramel. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with moderate sweetness, some toasted malts, nips of caramel, juicy and sticky pine, slight marmalade, orange, melon, a bit of dirty grass. Not bad overall.
