Chris and Alisa brought this one back for me from a trip to New Jersey. +++ Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured an orange-caramel color with lots of tiny floaters and a medium sized fluffy orange-tan head that left decen lacing. The aroma was malty caramel, pine and resin. The flavor was rather bitter with notes of pine, resin and grapefruit and undertones of toffee and caramel. Long bitter pine and grapefruit finish. Medium body. Ok.

Chris and Alisa brought this one back for me from a trip to New Jersey. +++ Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a massively over carbonated dark golden color with an enormous fluffy orange-white head that lingered and left decent lacing. The aroma was dry and chalky with notes of Pez and vague citrus. The flavor was bitter and chalky with pepper, Pez and vague fruits. Medium length finish. Light body and massively over carbonated. Meh.

12 ounce bottle. Amber orange color topped by a moderate Rocky beige head. Caramel malty nose. Dank bittersweet toasted malt flavor. Huge hop bitterness is astringent and out of balance. Lacks complexity. All hops, no substance.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Buy Rite, 9/7/14
Aroma: The nose is clean hops, orange/citrus, some caramel, buttery notes, and resin hints
Appearance: It pours a murky orange color with a small off-white head and average lace
Flavor: Tastes similar to the nose, but with the malts getting more buttery, and a bitter, citrus finish
Palate: The body is medium, it has an okay mouthfeel overall, with a dryish finish
Overall Impression: I wasn't too impressed by this IPA. It isn't a terrible beer or anything, but the flavor just doesn't quite work. I don't really know where to settle on this beer. Maybe I'm even a little too high with this score?
