Bottle. Small fizzy off-white head that mostly lasted, fair amount of lacing, transparent, fizzy carbonation, and a gold hue. The aroma was caramel, malt, hoppy, citrus, pine, and grapefruit. Ditto for the flavor and was somewhat thick tasting. Fairly smooth mouthfeel with a slight tingly sensation and medium in body. Very quaffable IPA, nicely done, easy to drink, almost too easy, worthy of a try if you have the opportunity.

Jul 12, 2008 12oz bottle. The aroma was of caramel and grassy/sprucy hops. Smelled very green. Poured a clear medium orange color. The head was off white, thick, and fluffy with good retention and lacing. Dry and medium bodied with moderate hop bitterness that peaked at about 6 out of 10. The malt backbone was on the weaker end of the spectrum without being too thin. Nice citrusy hop and toasted bread flavors. Decent IPA.

Jun 28, 2008 Orange beer with an attractive off white head that left lots of sticky lace. Citrus nose of orange rind and tangerines. The flavor is also dominated by the citrus hops, with lots of red grapefruit, orange rind, and a little lemon tanginess in the background. There is a caramel sweetness and lightly toasted bread under there. The hops actually burn a little on the tongue. The finish has an odd, turning orange bitterness to it that prevents me from really liking this beer.

Jun 25, 2008 This bottled brew from Indianapolis, IN poured a medium sized head of foamy off-white colored finely sized mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a hazy typically carbonated dark orange colored body with yeast floaties and a thick foamy lacing. The aroma contained nice strong floral hop notes. The mouth feel was strongly tingly with thick hop notes. The flavor contained very nice strong floral hops.
