(22oz bottle, thanks kmweaver) Small beige head atop lightly hazed amber body. Aroma is moderately sweet, orange/floral, light caramel. Taste is medium sweet, grapefruit/orange. Sharp bitterness, very one-dimensional. Medium-full body, some acidity.

22oz bottle shared courtesy of TomDecapolis. 2007 ediiton. Poured a medium and clear amber color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of citrus, pines / floral hoppiness, spicey, and oranges. Tastes of citrus, grapefruit, and pine. Nice heavy bitter finish. I would have wanted a better balance for an IIPA, but overall a nicely hoppy beer.

Bottle… O-Town Christmas Gathering ‘07… Mostly clear golden ale with a mid-sized, creamy, white head. Good retention. The nose is composed of both pink and yellow grapefruit and cotton candy. Full-bodied with a biting mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Violently bitter flavor up front with tons of fresh, lucid, citric hops. Followed by and blended nicely with topical and fuzzy fruit sweetness. Lengthy, bittersweet and then drying finish. Thanks to kmweaver for supplying this beer!

Clear orange bronze with a thin, wispy-lacing white head. Aroma of fresh grapefruity hops with some light crystal malty sweetness. Body starts semi-sweet and caramely with some earthy grapefruity bittering hops toward a drier, bittersweet and slightly warming finish. A pretty good IIPA.

Thanks to beastiefan2k for sharing this one. Hazy golden beer, thin white head. Very fresh hoppy aroma. Bright and citrusy with loads of tangerine and orange peel. A bit of spice and light pithy resinousness. Light spicy and fruity flavour. Lean-bodied, crisp pale malts. Slightly spicy, black pepper and white pepper. A bit of dustiness. Lingering bitterness. Very dry but pretty tasty. The hops are a bit more indistinct tasting than the aroma would suggest.
