Draught at the brewery and Novare Res, 12/29/17.
Lightly-to-moderately hazy, peach-tangerine with a small, off-white head showing moderate-to-low retention.
Dusty old biscuit and cracker malt mix with strong marmalade-like hop notes. Tangerine, lemon, light grapefruit and leafy, low-resin pine all seem to suggest this is a bit old, though that's kind of hard to believe. No alcohol or flaw.
Dry and malty in the mouth with a good, soft texture and low but engaging carbonation. Lots of biscuit and light caramel with tons of orange rind, grapefruit, other spicy citrus and moderate bitterness. Not too juicy, all told, with much more of a West Coast DIPA feel to it, though again, a bit muted and more malt-forward than I'd prefer, despite being clean and lacking hard resin or big pine.

8 oz draft at the brewery. Cloudy orange in a tulip hlass. Aroma shows me orange marmalade, mild pine, hints of malt. Flavor does not surprise; orange marmalade malt with subtle citrus and a mild pine finish. Bitterness is substantial, meduim in body that gets more sweet as it warms.
