Deep hazy orange coloured body with a rich, two centimetre tall just off-white head. Amazing aroma of resinous, piney and super citrusey hops with more orange and citrus flavours coming out than i’ve ever noticed - even on a real beer from San Diego. Medium-bodied; Biting hoppiness with the citrus, resinous and herbal flavours all noticeable as well. Mild bready and yeast characteristics still show through and a bit of caramel malt still balances things out nicely. Aftertaste is focused around the hops, naturally, with a little sweetness of oranges and tropical fruits, some light earthiness and a mostly herbal and resinous finish - very nice and hoppy, of course! Overall, a nice west-coast inspired IPA that is executed well and the citrus notes are impossible to ignore! I sampled this from a growler purchased from the brewpub in Falls Church, Virginia on 03-February-2014 after a hockey game on 06-February-2014 - thanks JP!

Draft at the brewpub. Pouered a very light hazy yellow-orange color with a small, wispy white head (friend had more of a head on his). Aroma was some light funk, light lemon peel, mild citrus and tropical fruits. Nice funky character, easy to drink - spices are quite bold but not overpowering.

64oz growler pours a clear dark orange with a ring of cloudy, white head. Nose is nice, pine, malt, orange, soap. Flavor is malty, orange, pithy, piney, honey, soap, malt. Bitter finish. They do their IPAs justice.

Poured a hazy orange color, very small head. Was some light hops, but mostly wine barrel with some light funky cheese notes. Started off a bit like cheddar, not very pleasant, but the funky wine notes beat out the other aromas and win the day. Flavor is nice wine notes, some funk, with a nice light undercurrent of citrus.
