Golden in color with an intense citrusy, floral aroma due to a lengthy dry hop process. Expect flavors of citrus, fruit, light malt, hints of powdered sugar, and American hops. Finishes clean and dry with a smack of hoppy goodness.

Orange Yellow poured from 12 Oz. White head. Whiff of citrus, taste of hints of grapefruit and bit of malt. Not bad ipa

Bottle. Almost clear with a tad of haziness, gold with a hint of orange. Medium to small head that quickly disappears. Aroma and taste was the usual grapefruit and spruce notes.

Skunk, or maybe just made that way. It's an IPA that just is missing a key ingredient.

From the bottle. Thanks, Nathan! The aroma is orange peel and wet grass, with honeysuckle and cloves. Sweet flavor, with a smooth, balanced bitterness. Light to medium body, crisp, and clean. This is an easy and approachable IPA; very sharp and refreshing.

Ok. Some light hops. Pours clear orange without much head and lacing. Finishes malty with light note of bitterness. Tap at DC Beer festival.

Decent East Coast IPA, hits all the right notes without being outstanding in any one category. Still a good quaff.

From a 12 oz bottle at home. Pours a clear gold with a thick off white head. Floral hop nose. Flavors of citrus with a caramel malt backbone. Medium bodied, high carbonation, bitter finish.
