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 from AEON Liquors, Jiyugaoka. Pours nice golden orange, not very foamy but carbonations seems to be fine in general. Nose is soft, some citrus peel spritz, orange juice fruitiness. Taste has more of the same, relatively in a balanced manner, some light citric bitterness, still juicy and actually pretty dry. Not the most exciting beer but well balanced and definitely decent one.

Amber with a thick head a lots of carbonation. Heavy citrus and hops aroma. Tastes like orange with some grassy hops. Palate is subtle yet quality. Orange is strong yet well blended so it’s apparent on the back of the tongue. Crisp mouthfeel, damn good beer

Good hop aroma. Flavor of a bitter resin IPA that is softened by orange citrus taste.

Keg at the Loaded Dog, Cambridge. Golden and hazy with a thin white head and lots of lacing. Orange juice aroma with some milky acidic notes. Taste is fairly bitter without the hoppy bite of the best IPAs. Considering the solid source this is fairly pedestrian.
