On tap at Fritz European Fry House in Bremerton, Washington, 16 ounces, served in shaker glass, $3.50 per pint. I assume that Supergoose refers to this being a hopped-up version of Hale’s Mongoose IPA, which, as far as I can tell, appears to be true. Color: Hazy orange core with a hazy yellow-orange aura, topped with a thin white head. Small dots and lines of lacing are left behind. Nose: I smell, in this order: a can of pineapple chunks, apricot, and a whiff of citrus. Palate: The flavors include bitter orange that borders on grapefruit, pineapple, apricot, and a hint of hay. The heavy bitterness lingers in the finish. The fruit sweetness is almost too much, but it actually complemented the dipping sauces for my fries rather well. The spiciness of the Spicy Curry Ketchup and Sweet Chili sauces toned down the sweetness of this ale and really let the hoppy bitterness shine through.

On draft pour at the brewery. Hazy orange color with a nice white head. Citrus and pine in athe aroma. Nice citrus taste. Very drinkable for the alcohol content.

Clear copper color with a thin white head. Great nose of pone resin and orange zest. Medium bodied with an almost rich, yet bright mouthfeel. Fresh hoppy finish.

Pours a golden hazy color unfiltered with a nice thick creamy white head and leaves a nice lacing. Smells a sweet citrusy herbal scent, with a little bit of piney grassy notes. Taste is citrus pineapple sweet little bit of pine and ends with some bitterness. Overall another great summer time ipa.

22oz Bottle) Pour is hazy orange..Nose is citrus, honey, pine, hops..Taste is Pineapple, pine, bitter,..Palate is smooth with bitterness

Bottle from the super duper IPA box I just got hit with. Another solid PNW offering here. Murky orange with big white head and lacing. Sweet orange flavor. Reminds me of those candy orange slices. Tasty. A little herbal and peppery aroma.

Sample at the Tap House Grill in Seattle. Slightly cloudy orange color with a medium off-white head that recedes slowly. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of hops, malt and pine. Medium body with flavors of piney hops, earthy malt and a bit of fruit. The finish is caramel malt up front with a hoppy aftertaste lingering. Above average overall.

bottle, thanks to mora2000, hazy orange pour with thin white foam, aroma is sweet citrus, flavor is citric,pine, earthy malt, nice clean finish but bitter

(22oz bottle) Pours a hazy golden body with a small white head. Aroma of caramel, herbs, orange, and grass. Flavor of orange, caramel, peach, toffee, light pine, and herbs with a moderately bitter finish.

(22oz bomber thanks to mora2000) cloudy light orange, very few bubbles in a ring around the edge that are off-white. Nose of grapefruit, lightly herbal, fairly fragrant. Taste of fairly bitter citrus rind, balance is a bit out of whack towards bitter, nice oily body that’s creamy too and pretty easy to drink, despite its overall bitterness.

Fairly dry. Not sweet. Nice hippy flavor. Very pleasant aftertastes. Strong hop flavor, but not strong aroma.
