Pours light amber into a Tulip. Rocky off-white micro head with excellent retention. Sweet pine and resin aromas. Sweet caramel upfront and creamy with a subdued orange citrus, hop and alcohol finish. More like a mild imperial pale ale.

Bottle. Thin-headed and orange, this beer’s aromas are like a fruit basket of citrusy hops. Pineapple and grapefruit are the main draws (maybe mango?), but I can pick out some sweet caramel like malt in the background. Hops are a punch to the face as soon as liquid hits lips... and they are sharper than in the nose. Grapefruit and pine come out strong at first, but then malt and sweeter fruits pick up the trail and manage to drive this home. Finish is kind of boozy with quite a bit of pineapple sweetness. This is pretty good, but it is very sweet...

Pour is a clear orange with a soapy white head. Aroma is big time citrus and pine? Check. Flavor is again a strong hop with a huge sweetness that follows. After the swallow there is a nice pine resin left on the tounge and some alcohol is felt the more you drink of it. Still a decent beer and will cure your hop jones.
