Bottle at home in CT - picked up at New Beer Distributors in NYC. Pours hazy gold with a foamy, off-white head. The nose has bready pale malts, bread, slight tangerine rind. Medium sweet flavor with hints of caramel, light pine, sugary pale bread, baked hay, faint lemon zest. Medium bodied with average carbonation. OK balance on the finish, with some further dried pale malts, tangerine rind, slight citrus pith. Fair.

New Beer Distributors, NYC 12oz ($2.75): Pours orange with a white head. Aroma is citrus with some malty backbone in there. Taste is very heavy on the grapefruit. It is a little sweet and sour too. Not particularly pleasant, but drinkable enough.

Old found notes. Mostly clear with a thin white head. Weak grainy aroma, little or no hop aroma. The flavor has a slight wash of sweetness with no hop flavor to balance. Thin bodied. There’s not enough here for this to even run with the little dogs.

12oz bottle. Hazy, unfiltered orange-tan. Creamy off-white head. Some pineapple, grapefruit in the aroma. Not so impressive for the style. Lacks malt depth. Toasty, soapy, earthy. More of an APA than anything else. Sessionable, but quite fishy, toasty. Woody, orange tones. Rather simple and unimpressive.

tap at Trion - I’m not sure how a keg of this beer made it’s way to a tavern in New Haven, Indiana, but nevertheless... it pours golden with a small white head and a mild, hoppy aroma. The taste is modereately bitter, on the low end for IPAs. I’m not getting much character from this beer. It’s mostly just not all that crisp, bittering hops and some light malts. Okay, but lacking.

Pour is a bright copper with a large foamy white head. Aroma is slightly hoppy with some butterscotch. Flavor is again slightly hoppy with some grainy malt with a soapy finish. Crown valley’s beer have been hit or miss and this is a miss. Very light all around with no pronounced hoppyness you expect in an IPA.
