12oz bottle pours a transparent orange with a thin, white head. Nose is fruity and sweet, light malt, caramel, oranges, some mango, honey, flowers. Flavor is sweet, oranges, raisins, mango, nectarine, peach, cracker, a little metallic, malty. Medium bodied, sweet, lightly bitter finish. I thought this was exceptionally drinkable. A sweeter, fruiter IPA, but very enjoyable.

Had on tap at brewery and from growler. Poured a hazy golden color with a fluffy white head. Aroma was spices, notes of biscuit and malts with a touch of hops. Flavor was about the same, with a pretty good yeast and bready body with nice spice notes of coriander and orange. I found this one highly drinkable during the Super Bowl.

Poured a golden straw/yellow color with a medium sized foamy white head. Aroma was biscuit with notes of mild malts and hops. Flavor was moderately hoppy, with a pretty decent malt backing to it.
