We pushed the complex and citrus-heavy flavors of hops to a new level with this orange-infused IPA. Combining bright and bold hops with real orange in the fermenter creates layers of citrus-crazy flavors, yet it maintains a balance and a crisp hop bite that make it the perfect aromatic IPA.

From Heinrich 3000, Kornwestheim. A solid American IPA, good bitterness, deep at the palate, citrus and sweet, orange peel, 13.04.19, savouring it with pleasure at Epalinges.

Bottle. Gold in color with a two finger head. Even though it is orange it tastes and smells like a regular IPA.

Pulled this out of an uncle's fridge. It was kept cold, but it was old. Citrus, orange. Malt, light grain, herbal notes, very light orange marmalade. Herbal finish.

Bright, deep golden color and a white head. Fruity nose with nice orange aroma. Taste is less fruity as expected, faint citric and orange taste. Nice hoppy finish.

Flasa z kubboselect. Silna ovocna pomarancova horka vona. Medova kalna farba. Pena sa chvilu drzi. Chut horka pivova ale aj duzinova silna.

0.355 l bottle at a discount at Goblet Beer Store. Thanks, Marko. Shared with little Dina and him. One year and one day old. Hazy golden to orange, small head. Lightly hoppy aroma, orange present. Zesty, herbal, malty. Earthy, malty, citrusy, perfumy, good bitter profile. Seems it was quite a good one while fresh. Light finish. Moderate carbonation.

Packaged 8/23/2019. Murky orange body, almost no head. Perfumey orange and oxidation in the aroma. Sweetish orange taste, light oxidation, vague dryness. Okay really.

Robe dorée légèrement trouble, fine mousse blanche crémeuse persistante à 1mm. Nez sur les agrumes, les herbes, le bois, la cendre. Bouche fraîche sur les agrumes avec une belle amertume et un côté boisé, résineux, plutôt agréable. Pas la bière du siecle mais sympa !

Good dense & stable just lightly yellowish head over fully hazy orange beer. Oranges²/-peel, both from the yeast and of course the added orangepeel. Also very dry impression, chalk, dust, but thankfully no coriander. Dry, toast, orangepeel and sweetened orangemarmalade. Finish has something faintly, delicately syrupy. Very slick, oily, filmy. Medium bodied; light carbonation. Not a sparkling new craft beer, just a professionally, finished product beyond criticism.
