On tap at the brewery pours a dark orange amber with some cloudy, lacing white head. Nose has orange, guava, some muddled tropical fruit candy, faint esters. Flavor has guava, bubblegum, papaya, heavy orange melon. Finishes a touch sweet and spritzy. Weird, needed a touch more bitterness, but also doesn’t look like a white IPA. Looks more like an amber.
Earlier Rating: 11/14/2014 Total Score: 3.4

Can from Milk and Hops. Mostly clear golden-orange with a white head and coating, spotty lacework. Orange, lemon, and grapefruit. Pine, catty hops, and a little onion. Very clean flavor-wise, with strong maltiness up-front, and a crisp, bitter close. Crisp and dry mouthfeel. Soft carbonation, finishes with a tingle on the tongue. Nicely done.

750ml bottle pours a clear, dark gold with a ring of white head. Nose has a ton of what can only be described as hampster cage, by that I mean a little urinal and wood shavings, lemon and malt too. Flavor has lemon, straw, diaper, wood shavings, butter, some odd and unusual caramel lurking. Tart finish. Complete mess.
