Bottle. Pours a copper orange color with a modest beige, thick strings of lacing lingering behind. The aroma is ripe blood orange and citrus, vibrant and fresh. Sweet citrus hops and lingering orange peel bitters in the taste. In one moment it hints at artificial orange, at the next it’s fresh squeezed OJ. Citra hops abound. Overall a potent and fresh orange filled IPA.

From sampler at the brewery yesterday. Black pour with red edges; tan foam lasts a couple minutes. Aroma is kind of muted, but it’s a little nutty and roasty. Taste is sweet and roasty, liquid dessert. Creamy mouthfeel, softly carbonated. Tasty stuff.

From sampler at the brewery. Pours black with beige foam. Caramelly, smoky; smells a little like caramel corn. Aroma translates to taste. Interesting and good.

From sampler at the brewery. Pours hazy yellow-orange with white foam. Very catty, dank aroma. Flavor is grapefruit, pine; pretty bitter. Creamy, finely carbonated. Really good.

From sampler at the brewery. Pours hazy yellow-orange with white foam, laces a little. Aroma is caramelly, more than I like in this style. Taste starts out pretty sweet before the bitterness takes over. It doesn’t taste 119 IBUs, though. A little unimpressed with this one.

From sampler at the brewery. Pours hazy amber with minimal foam. Sweet and toasty, light bitterness. Caramelly, toasty aroma. Really tasty, the toasty character really sets this apart.
