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.

Bottle, 0.355l. Hazy orange/copper pour, thin soapy white head. Minimal lacing on the glass. Fruity nose, orange, grapefruit, peach, mild herbal, floral background. Medium body, soft carbonation. Chewy texture, smooth and soft mouthfeel, very drinkable. Moderately bitter taste with subtle sweet notes in the background. Aroma follows the nose, malty background, touch of caramel. Solid hop aroma, quite fruity, notes of orange peel, grapefruit and peach. Hints of pineapple. Mild herbal spiciness, some floral touches. Lingering bitterness on the tongue throughout the finish. Dry. Pretty good.

Bottle from 100 piv. Oxidized caramelly sweetish flavour present in moderate strength. Also moderate intensity of bitterness, loads if orange citrusy flavours, really up front. Moderate body, moderate carbonation. Easy drinking. Good one.

Pours lightly hazy gold with a one finger head. It smells of oranges and other citrus accented hops. The flavor is moderately bitter with oranges and caramel malt. Medium body. It's nothing to write home about, but it's pretty good.
