Copper orange. Lightly muted citrus, sweet malts, a bit of earth. Medium bodied. Not much bitterness. Soft throughout. Ok.

Reviewed from old notes.
At their brewpub, this was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a semi-glossy orange color with a bar pour’s kind of slim white head that left no lacing.
The smell had a lemon to slight citrusy sort of orange-esque hoppy aroma with a light dose of earthy and semi-spicy hops enter in nicely.
The taste was basically the same adding a subtle sweetness to it.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was decent for the style and for me. It did leave a subtle spicy aftertaste.
Overall, good Autumn IPA, however, I just wonder if this was their Ichabod with a slight orange aroma added.
