16 oz. can from Trader Joe's in Orlando. Pours an opaque dark gold color with a small white head and good retention. Decent lacing. Definite orange aroma. Smells like a fruit beer. Good natural orange peel flavor, mixed with bitterness. I wish it WAS a fruit beer, or a wheat ale. That said, the bitterness isn't too strong. And the 6.9% ABV and the 62 IBUs are both well hidden. Medium body and medium carbonation. Not bad.

Update Review: 16oz can in St Petersburg. Oranges, grapefruit, zesty. Good. I'm glad I had this again.
Original review: 3/2/24: 4-5-3-2-3- 3.5. 12oz can at the hotel in Melbourne, FL. Pours clear dark golden with a small off-white head, light lacing. Bitter orange, doughy in the middle and then it bites back. Not enjoyable to drink. Can't finish the glass, let alone the whole can.

Draft: Poured a golden/orange color ale with a large white foamy head with good retention and some light lacing Aroma of citrusy hops notes with light juicy notes. Taste is also a mix of citrusy notes with some light juicy notes and light hoppy bitterness. Body is about average with good carbonation. Enjoyable citrus forward IPA.

16oz. can from Luekens Liquors, Seminole. Pour is orangish yellow and slightly hazy. Floral IPA nose, not much if any orange in the olfactory. Whew, first slug is big sharp bitter, perhaps some bitter ass orange peel but mostly uncivilized astringent IPA. Difficult. In the middle, its just plain old irritating. Mind you, I'm not an IPA lover so take it with a grain of salt, whew. If I don't like it, it probably means IPA lovers will really like it. Yes, big ass bitter astringent phenolic hops make this a terribly one sided rude ass beer. Orange? What orange? Can't find it. Did I say whew yet? Just asking. Whew. At least I'm getting a little bit of co2 which makes the mouth coating aspect of strong IPA a little less.

16oz. can from Luekens Liquors, Seminole. Golden orange and clear with a tiny bit of white head. Light fresh orange oil in the aroma. Sweet taste, malty caramel notes with a crowning halo of orange encircling the finish. Bitterness after. Medium carbonation. I’m quite fond of this.

Draft pour enjoyed at 3 Daughters, St. Pete. A somewhat cloudy golden orange appearance withba thin hesdm ninreally like the execution of the orange usage here. It's not too light, and not too strong. Cool refreshing taste. Juicy orange with a touch of lingering bitterness. Super tasty. The orange makes me almost forget it's IPA, but it's so tasty that it gets away with it.

Fairly cloudy, orange gold color. Modest head. Nose is a hint of orange zest/oil and orange-centered citrus hops. Vague doughy note in the aroma as well. Mildly crisp and refreshing, it is semi-dry with with a notable orange/citrus flavor along with a mild bready malt. Low to medium bitterness at the finish with a lingering taste of orange oil. It doesn't really present itself as an IPA though, maybe a slightly juicy one - but its lower hop profile makes it feel more like a pale ale, if not an old school blonde ale even if the color isn't right for that. Quite an average overall beer, but at least has the positive of being a somewhat unique one. I think its a reasonably good enough candidate to have a good beer when in Florida.

Pour is a dirty orange with lots of floaties. Aroma is oranges and dull malt. Flavor is orange citrus and bitterness with a bit of dull malt. Decent orange flavor but not much else.
