Bottle at Sander’s place, NYC. One of my last beers of this trip. Pours clear orange with a foamy, off-white head. Dry citrus aroma with notes of wood, pine and toasted straw. Lovely flavor, medium sweet, some wood and grass, pine, candi sugar, mango, grapefruit. Medium in body with average, smooth carbonation. Sticky, lightly dry finish, nice and sweet, resinous pine, toasted sugar, grass, straw, juicy orange and grapefruit, some tropical fruits. This is a damn solid IPA.

Ends with more grapefruit, pine, orange juice, caramel, sweet malt, floral hops and light spicy hops. Nice!

12 oz. bottle from a tulip. Pours an orangish amber color with a moderate white head that leaves great lacing. Very earthy hop aroma. Taste has a lot of piney and earthy hops with a big caramel malt background. Overall really nice IPA. Would like to see a more complex hop profile overall though.
