Pours hazy amber with a thick white head. Aroma of resinous hops. Tastes like fruity hops, kinda weak. Palate is similar. Eh.

12 ounce bottle with 12 19 stamped on the bottom of the bottle.

It says that it is unfiltered and the haze I'm seeing backs that up. It's an orange gold colour, has an impressive head of foam.

I get mild tropical fruit and pine in the smell along with caramel malt and orange zest.

Taste isn't too shabby though it falls behind the smell. Orange zest, citrus, not much of a tropical fruit presence. Fairly dry vs juicy. Malt is not sweet at all, more of a toasted flavour.

Front end of the mouthfeel is medium, back end is on the thinner side.

Not a bad effort at an IPA.

Tap at Brooklyn Steel: pours sort of hazy orabge with a white head. Aroma is lightly tropical fruitiness. Taste is a pretty mediocre lightly fruity taste. Low bitterness. Just a muddle.

12oz bottle. Unfiltered orange body. Thin off-white head. Captures the mild,juicy, orange-juice/tropical tone sort of, but the body just isn't there. Lacks depth, and almost has an artificial fruit edge feel, like a mango IPA. Drinkable, but not a beer I'd seek out again.

On tap at Buffalo Wild Wings. Pours a cloudy orange with large frothy white head leaving sticky lacing. The aroma is grapefruit pith and melon. Slick body, juicy, melon, pine, light bitterness, very good.

12 ounce can into tulip glass, best before 2/15/2019. Pours moderately hazy/cloudy deep golden amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Nice aromas with good balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, mango, melon, berries, citrus peel/rind, wood, peppercorn, pine, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. A bit of muddy aromas/flavors. Nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/bready/grainy/sticky, and fairly resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Minimal warming alcohol for 5.7%. Overall this is a nice hazy IPA. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the modestly bitter/resinous/drying finish, not aggressive. Not nearly as tropical, vibrant, or juicy as expected. Just feels like Simcoe, Amarillo, and classic C hops. Nicely vibrant, juicy, dank, and earthy balanced hop complexity; nice pale/wheat malt backbone, minimal residual sweetness from lingering resin dryness. A nicely enjoyable offering.

Quite hazy golden and peach coloured body with a thinnish, single to perhaps two centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of grass, light pine, some subdued citrus and grapefruity notes with a dash of lemon thrown in the mix. Light-bodied; Strong grassy and very herbal, perfumey hoppy flavours at first with a deep bitterness, some lighter grain and cardboardie malt notes with a dash of cereal and unfinished yeast notes throughout that leaves the finish bready. Aftertaste is soft and subtle with the grapefruit, lemony and resinous notes along with a dose of perfume and herbs towards the end. Overall, a pretty poor and un-IPA like beer that shows more of herbal and grassy notes and way less bitterness and actual hop flavours, which hits at most like an APA and doesnt show anywhere close to the bitterness or complexity that an IPA should taste like. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Harris Teeter in Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia on 04-December-2018 for US$1,83 sampled in my hotel room here in Inner Harbour, Baltimore, Maryland on 11-December-2018.
