4oz draft pour at Churchkey. Poured a dark orange color with a small off-white head. Aroma was citrus, tropical fruit, light resin. Flavor was of the tropics, with citrus. Floral hops and some light earthy notes on the finish. Boozy finish. Conversations while having this revolved around Ricky Martin and American Idol contestant, William Hung.

Lots of citrus peel and some hint of almond. Pours hazy orange with great head. Very bitter finish. Nice stuff. Tap at Red Apron.

4 oz pour on draft at ChurchKey. Hazy orange with off-white head. Aromas of citrus, tropical fruit, floral notes. Tastes of tropical fruit, citrus, candied stone fruit, floral notes, slightly aged hops. Medium body with a dry finish. Doesn’t really stand out for the style.

375 ml corked and crowned bottle. Hazy Amber orange color topped by a moderate Rocky beige head. Aroma has notes of treacle, sweet malt and resiny hops. Intense bittersweet resiny hops dominate the palate. Notes of lemon peel, tropical fruit and warming alcohol on palate. Soft, silky mouthfeel. Some earthy, yeasty notes in midtaste. Dry, peppery bitter finish.

Location: 375 ml bottle from Winooski Beverage, 7/17/15, Best when fresh: bottled on 2/17/15, I really should have read that before I purchased this beer in July!
Aroma: The aroma is orange, booze, some caramel, other sweet malts, and a little pine
Appearance: The pour is dark orange, a little murky, with an off-white head and drippy lace
Flavor: Tastes a little like an old IPA, but still solid, strong sweetness and a good bitterness
Palate: The body is fairly full, a little sticky, with a smooth, soft feel, and a dry, sticky finish
Overall Impression: Too bad I didn't do a closer examination of the label before I purchased this beer. This store may have a bit of a bottle management issue, as it seems like they let stuff sit a little too long in general. I feel like there was definitely a nicer beer here fresh, sometimes you can just kinda tell, but at this point, it is only okay.

375 bottle shared by Willrunforbeer, bottled 2/ 2015. Aroma was is danky hops, leafy green, pine and some mild pine. Flavor was sweet upfront turning into pine, dank hops and a good amount of booze. Solid amount of bitterness but the alcohol. The alcohol is a bit distracting after about 4 oz. If the ABV was turned down it may be much improved

Cloudy but I think due to bottle conditioning. Dark orange, reddish hues. Aroma is nice. sweet, juicy, grapefruit, tangerine. Good mouthfeel, just a crap load of citrus forward hops. crisp really interesting but the IBUs are insane on this one.
