On draft @ jones radiator in spokane. Deep orange color, dense white head. Excellent lacing. Pleasant floral aroma. Initial sweetness followed by a hoppy finish. Excellent drinkability.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours clear deep gold with thin white head. The aroma is full with grapefruit, tangelo, orange peel and spicy hops. The taste doesn’t disappoint with plenty of tasty bold hops up front like citrus grapefruit mixing with some spiciness and also some pine hoppy goodness. A subtle yet supportive layer of malts is well underneath the hoppiness.

Tap at Brouwers. Orange color with a nice head. Aroma of bitter NW hops and a touch of buttery malt. Flavor is a blast of herbal bitterness. Not alot of sweetness. Chewy and resiny hops. Dry. I enjoy hop heavy IPA’s and this was one of those.

on tap-pours a thin off white head that laces and cloudy gold color. Aroma is citrus/grapefruit hops. Taste is pungent/citrus/grapefruit hops-bitter, secondary medium malt.

Tap at the brewpub. Pours hazy amber/gold with a white smear. Floral/citrus aroma. Very fresh floral/fruit flavor. Quite tasty. Decent bitter finish.

Draught. Orange deep with white head. Strong hop smell, naartjies and seville oranges. Floral flavour, hoppy without being a hop bomb, well balanced. Very bitter, but not overly so.

Draft @ Strange Brewfest 07: Muddy orange color, nice head and lacing. The nose is citrusy like grapefruit and asorbic acidy hops. Light malt in the flavor, could use a bit of bitterness. Sweet and dry hopped, decent body. Yum.

Bottle says 6.5%. Pours mostly clear orange with a frothy beige head. Aroma of fruit and herb with some pine and caramel. Taste is more bitter with lots of grass and resin, sweetness is low but still is enough to balance the bitterness. Pretty hefty tasting for an IPA. Bitter finish is long. Medium body, smooth silky texture, soft carbonation.

Hazy amber,lasting beige head. Piney citrus nose. Big citrus hop profile, medium bitterness. Good malt backbone Nice!!
