Can (2/18/25) from trade with CLW--thanks, Chris! Deeply hazy orange-light brown-dark yellow with tons of sparkle, ample head with excellent retention, nice rings of lacing. Aroma is strong candied orange, milder apricot. Taste follows aroma. Smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Strong taste and aroma, though not complex. Good.

16 oz can. Aroma of tangerine and mandarin oranges. Flavors Boulder, with citrus and shows hints of earth and very mild pine. Soft mouth filled with steady amount of bitterness after seven. Quite balanced and it’s definitely a traditional imperial IPA. Enjoyable when you are looking for a old school character.

8 oz draft at Cask On! Aroma and flavor are the same. Prune, raspberry, and perhaps aspirin. Maple, I guess. Not sure why I am getting a off flavor here??
