Sample at the brewpub. Clear orange color with a medium fluffy white head that recedes gradually to a dense film. Small patches of lacing on the glass. The aroma is hoppy with fruit and malt notes. Light-bodied with flavors of grassy hops, fruit and biscuit malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a short grassy hop aftertaste. Decent overall.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass; no bottle dating, but is a recent release. Pours hazy/cloudy deep orange/copper color with a 2 finger dense and fluffy off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a large amount of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, lemon zest, orange peel, light pine, light caramel, toasted bread, spicy rye, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/piney hops and moderate bready malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, lemon zest, orange peel, light pine, light caramel, toasted bread, spicy rye, and floral/grassy earthiness. Fair amount of piney/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon/orange zest, light pine, light caramel, toasted bread, spicy rye, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness and complexity of citrus/piney hops and moderate bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth and fairly creamy/sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish as expected of 4.7%. Overall this is a very good session IPA style. All around good complexity, balance, and robustness of citrus/piney hops and moderate bready malt flavors; and very smooth and easy to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering
