Pours a hazy dark orange gold. Thick head. Light carbonation. Hoppy aroma. Tastes like citrus and hops. Palate has pine and earthy elements. Very light mouthfeel while also having hard hops influence. Very unique beer

Can pour into nonic pint glass from the source. Appearance is deeply hazy (visible floaties present) orange with greenish tinge at edges of glass, minimal sparkle, finger-width white foamy head with poor retention and fair leggy lacing. Aroma is tropical fruit, white grape, an almost acetone-like quality (not unpleasant, but somewhat astringent). Taste is grape, light musk and tropical fruit with a pleasant citrus and almost metallic bitterness. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with silky smooth texture, soft-to-average carbonation, a bitterness I can feel in my back teeth, an alcohol warmth in the esophagus and dry, bittersweet finish. Overall, not the greatest appearance but intrigue in the aroma, flavor and palate.

Can pour into shaker pint glass from the source. Appearance is clear, dark-orange-to-light-brown, with light sparkle, finger-width white head with fair retention and nice rings of lacing. Aroma is citrus and resin. Taste is as aroma. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with thin texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, works pretty well but not terribly strong.

Tap at Cask Republic, New Haven. Color us very cloudy golden with small white head. Aromas and flavors: Fruits, tropical fruits, some grape, vanilla, hops and malts. Pretty aggressive and lacks drinkability.

Can pour into tulip glass from the source. Appearance is hazy copper with light sparkle, finger-width foamy off-white head with fair retention and light, spotty lacing. Aroma is strong citrus, pine, grapefruit and light herbs. Taste is initial sweet citrus and light herbs, middle is orange creaminess (reminiscent of the orange creamsicle referenced so often), and end is grapefruit. Light alcohol. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with creamy texture, soft-to-average carbonation with mostly sweet, with light bitter balance, finish. Overall, a sweet, juicy, flavorful IPA with some balance. Good.
