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.

12oz bottle pours with a clear copper gold body that supports a thin white head of foam. The aroma offers up tangy smelling orange and clementine citrus with a bit of instant Tang Koolaid. The taste delivers orange and clementine and instant Tang. It picks up orange peel and zest to midway. Pretty nice.

Bottle bought at Liquor Shed. Bottled June 7th 2018.
Pours a clear gold with a finger of foam, excellent lacing.
It smells of orange zest, earthy malt, biscuit, hint of tartness which I reckon, I must be imagining.
Orange zest and perhaps what I'd call orange dankness in the taste. Earthy and biscuit malt, light bitterness, lighter sweetness. I can say that the flavours don't exactly agree with me.
Good mouthfeel until the finish where it gets a bit scratchy for me.
Bought as a single, thank goodness.
