Aroma is very mild, with just a hint of piney hops and some lager-like malt elements. Flavor is better - light/moderate bodied and a bit sweet, but quite flavorful with a substantial fruit and citrus presence, hint of pine, and a lingering, moderately bitter finish.

tap. Golden with white dissipating head and light lacing. Smells grapefruity and cat pissy. Tastes lighter than it smells. Almost a little corny.

I smell resin and sharper pine with some caramel. light amber with moderate white head. odd in the mouth—thin & aggresssive, flavor gets citrus sour, some ESB-ish malt. piney finish

Bottle: Amberish in color, mild carbonation, moderate white frothy head, fairly decent lacing. Moderate pithy/hoppy nose, a little organic like graininess as well. Moderate malt body with a dull pithy hop flavor profile. Well balanced, decent malt base with a not so big hoppy aspect. However, its very dull. Nothing about this is sharp or bright. Could use some more sweet citrus or floral aspects. For me it seems like a robust American Pale Ale. Body and mouthfeel are moderate. Pithy finish, citrus zest, and thankfully not much of that organic malt like presense. Just wished this one was a little brighter, sweeter, and more juicy/citrusy. I would have settled for a bit more floral aspects as well. Not a bad beer, just seems like your average IPA. Solid, but dull in its flavor profile.

Bottle served in a tulip. Says 5.8% abv and 77 IBUs. Hazy orange with a short off-white head. Good retention and lacing. Mostly caramel and dough on the nose but there are floral and grassy elements as it warms. English styling perhaps. You wouldn’t guess the flavor profile would be so bitter based on the aroma. Medium bitter and doughy flavor. Medium body, oily texture, and a very long, ultra bitter finish.

Tap @ Coalition. Hazy orange pour with a brief, minimal white head leaving coarse lace. Pine, grapefruit and malt nose. Medium body and moderate, very fine carbonation yielding a somewhat creamy mouth feel. Grapefruit, tea, biscuit, cereal and a light sucrose sweetness. Finish is long and bitter, with more citrus rind and cereal. Bettered by several other of Coalition’s offerings.

draft. slightly hazed orange. cheese must and mold hop nose and flavor. excessively bitter, chewy, syrupy and goopy texture, full-bodied. resinous, raw, green, oily, moldy, ugh. very, very difficult to enjoy. brash, horrible flavor, unpalatable.
