Bottle from QFC - Seattle (Ballard)
Hazy amber color; medium sized creamy head. Light aroma of malt. Dry malt and some caramel flavor, strong bitterness, but missing interesting traits, be the malt or the hops.

12 oz bottle bought at Albertson’s in Hayden, ID. Pours hazy copper with a medium off-white head that collapses into a skiff of foam and some lace. Aroma is bready, caramel, wet river rock--not the hoppy smell I prefer in an IPA. Taste is more APA than IPA, it’s dry and faintly bitter, simple. Bland and forgettable.

Bottle @ home. Hazy, light golden orange appearance with a disappearing white head. Somewhat spicy, orange peel, rich honey, orange/lemon citrusy aroma. Fairly sweet, rich orange and honey, well carbonated, fairly refreshing flavor. Easy to drink though the carbonation is a bit sharp.

12oz twist off cap bottle pours clear copper with gold hues and off white head. The aroma has notes of spicy hops, faint malt sweetened citrus and little else. The taste, even though the age of this bottle is in question, is kind of snappy with a nice level of spicy to earthy to citrusy to floral hops. There’s a decent amount of hop bitterness going on before earthy slightly roasty malts come to the surface. I should probably get a really fresh sample of this at some point as I’m likely to enjoy it.

Bottle: Pale copper color with a small beige head. Aroma is malty, some faint citrus and florals. Pleasant taste of citrus and grapefruit, light florals, and caramel malt. Not a real intense flavor, but good.

12oz bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a clear pale yellow with no head but lots of little chunkies floating around. Aroma is mostly grains and malt with a hint if artificial orange soda smell. Taste is light sweet. Mostly grains with the same orange soda taste. Light bodied with a very creamy texture. Kively carbonation and a long finish. Overall, not really my style but not too bad. Buy a single, not a 6-pack.

Stolen from my room mate: Pours a yellow/orange colour with very little head. Aroma is malty, with some orange citrus, and some spiciness. Taste is much better than I expected. Starts off as a mellow cream ale and then has some orange flavors that tingle towards the back. Not really my thing as I am not a huge fan of oranges, but this was good enough.

Bottle. Too foamy really. Beer foamed right out of the glass and spilled over the table. Not much aroma, a little citrus and a little pine,Light bodied, more hoppiness. A pleasant finish

Bottle. Pours black with off white head. Nose of fresh blueberry, oats and cocoa. Taste is same but very muted. Lighter body. Not bad.
