Can, from the brewery. Pours clear dark orange/light amber with small frothy off-white head, malty aroma, adequate carbonation, medium bitter lightly piney orange peel taste, malty background, thin body, long medium bitter finish. Decent DIPA.

On tap at Thimble Island, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out rich resinous hops, sticky caramel and biscuity malt. Flavour has a rather earthy hop character, with a thick bready malt base. A bit too earthy and seemingly stale for me, but it's okay.

Bottle shared by JCwattsrugger. Thanks John! A near clear Amber color, soapy head. Aroma is orange marmalade, toasted grain and mild citrus. Ok, over 100 IBU?? Perhaps not. Or it is old... (John feeding us old IPA's??) the backbone is very malty and borderline sweet. The hop flavor is muted. Old school IPA right here.

Bottle from Jeremy. Hazy, fizzy orange golden, with skin of head. Orang-y aroma. Tangerine taste turns into dishwater. Kind of soapy.

At the source: pours copper with a pretty creamy head. Aroma is malt and a good bit of citrus. I doubt this is over 100 IBUs like they say it is, as it is not all the bitter. Still it is very smooth. Hefty hoppiness. Pleasant malt backbone.

Bottle pour into tulip glass. Aroma is fruit, resin, citrus, cheese. Appearance is slightly hazy copper with 3 finger-width foamy head with good retention, nice lacing and nice sparkle. Taste is mix of fruity sweetness and bitter. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with thin, creamy texture; average carbonation and pleasant mix of fruity sweet and bitter finish. Overall, aroma and taste are muted for such a difficult category to excel in.
