Sampled on draft this beer poured a toffee color with a medium sized creamy orange-white head that left good lacing. The aroma was tangy and sweet with notes of orange and tropical fruit. The flavor was tangy and sweet with orange, perfume, pez, and tropical fruit. Moderate bitterness. Medium lenght finish. Medium body and fairly smooth. Ok.

12 oz bottle. Aroma is floral, grainy, wet dishrag. Pours clear golden with a collapsing white head. Fairly high leafy hop bitterness, nearly no malt sweetness. Not bad really.

12 oz bottle from Buy Rite, 2/24/16. Pours a clear lighter orange color with a small head and drippy lace. Pale malts and grains, grassy hops. A bit of citrus as well, but the grainy and grassy flavors are those that feel the most pronounced. Carbonation is fairly lively, with a decent feel, and a pretty dry close. Not bad, but not much better than that.

12 ounce bottle into lager glass, best before 4/11/2016. Pours crystal clear deep orange/amber color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky off white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Great dense soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Incredible appearance. Aromas of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, mango, lemon zest, orange peel, light pepper, pine, light caramel, toasted bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of juicy citrus/tropical/piney hops and moderate bready malt notes; with good strength. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, mango, lemon zest, orange peel, light pepper, pine, light caramel, toasted bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Moderate pine/rind/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, mango, lemon/orange peel, pepper, pine, light caramel, toasted bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Damn nice complexity, robustness, and balance of juicy citrus/tropical/piney hops and moderate bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero astringent hop flavors after the finish. Moderate dryness from bitterness that increases through the glass. Very clean on lager flavors with zero yeast notes present. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately stickyresious, and lightly creamy/bready balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with zero warming present after the finish. Overall this is an excellent IPL style! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of juicy citrus/tropical/piney hops and moderate bready malt flavors; and very smooth and easy to drink. A very enjoyable offering.

Many thanks to Chris for this bottle! The beer starts nice floral hoppy with a very dry body and lots of pine. Hints of sweetness left, full bodied with lots of fresh floral hops. Pine, resin, malt. The aftertaste is long with a nice intense floral bitterness. Round and great!

Sampled from a bottle. I had low expectations for this beer. Clear, light gold color. Aroma of an ipa and bitter hop flavor. Thin palate. this was surprisingly ok.

On tap at Gilligans. Pours a near clear amber with a near white head that lasts throughout the beer and laces. Aroma has earthy grain and earthy pine notes with a good amount of grass backing. Flavor has a pine and grass combination with a sweet bread backbone v
