Going with batch #4 despite no labeling to that effect. The beer pours a slightly cloudy copper color with a medium foamy white head that recedes gradually. Sticky strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus, hops and malt. Medium-bodied with flavors of herbal hops, citrus and caramel malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a fruity hops aftertaste. Decent overall.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, best before 7/15/2014. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy deep orange/copper color with a 2 finger dense and rocky light khaki head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of lemon zest, lime, orange zest, herbal, floral, grass, light mint, light caramel, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/earthy hops and moderate malt sweetness; with solid strength. Taste of lemon zest, lime, orange peel, grapefruit, pine, herbal, floral, grass, light mint, light caramel, bread, and floral/grassy earthiness. Good amount of pine/grassy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon zest, lime, orange peel, grapefruit, pine, light mint, light caramel, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity and robustness of bright citrus/earthy hops with moderate malt sweetness; with a crisp malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, crisp, and lightly sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is a very good IPA. Good complexity and balance of bright citrus/earthy hops and moderate malt sweetness; and very smooth and crisp to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering.

Like others have mentioned, there is ZERO indication on the bottle which batch this is supposed to be. 12 ounce bottle from Beer Run. Pours a hazy amber color with a medium sized tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma of doughy malt, marzipan, caramel, floral and tropical hops. The taste is bitter hops, minty, soapy, citrus, doughy caramel malt. Medium bodied, slightly too sweet, moderate carbonation.

Sampled on draft at 3R6P this beer poured a dark amber color with a huge creamy yellow-white head that lingered forever and left incredible lacing. The aroma was tangy and sweet with faint orange and vague fruity hops. The flavor was tangy, sweet and a touch bitter with faint vague fruity hops. Medium finish. Moderately full bodied. Surprisingly bland.

Tap at the Drafting Room, Exton, 27/11/13. Hazed orange amber with a good sized light beige head that retains well. Nose is caramel malt forward, light hops, bitter orange, biscuit, touch of grapefruit. Taste comprises caramel malt, orange pith, hop notes, subtle grapefruit tang. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, touch of hop bitterness in a drying finale. Ok IPA,drinkable but lacks any real punch.
