opaque orange, frothy dirty white head, lots of lace,
sweet fruity pine and tangerine aroma,
lots of hop flavor on a sweet malt base, lots of citrus character that turns into a sweet orange as it warms, strong bitterness kicks in about halfway through and lasts through a long bitter finish,
it’s the orange character at the end that makes this beer special

Draft at brewpub. Poured hazy copper with an average frothy white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate floral and sour citrus aroma. Medium body with a slick texture. Medium smooth biiter flavor with a heavy bitter finish of long duration. I would recommend this to a freind.

Bottle…This beer rocks!… Pours hazy amber with an orange tint and a mid-sized, frothy, white head. Fantastic, creamy retention. The aroma offers tons of tropical fruit nectar flanked by tea biscuit and peach. Full-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel and zippy carbonation. The flavor leans way fruity and bitter, but also hearty and malty. Finishes bitter… yep, just bitter. Muchos gracias to StFun for shipping this world class brew to me!

Draft at the source. Clear golden color, thick white head, solid lacing. Aroma of wet grass and subtle scallions. Taste is bitter grass and a hint of fruit and licorice. Very nice start to a weekend beer trip!

Burned orange color, moslty a white head. Lots of floral hops, citrus, sweet malt, oranges, finishes a tad dry on the notes.

On tap at the 2007 GTMW: Pours a transparent bright golden bronze with a spotty-lacing white head. Aroma of earthy, grassy, grapefruity, hempy hops and some sweet pale malt. Body starts with a light pale malty sweetness and fresh earthy resiny grapefruity hops toward a crisp sticky bittersweet finish. A pretty nice IIPA.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft sample pours a hazy orange. Fruity mandarin orange and crystalline sugar nose, and the flavor is also expectionally sweet and sugary/gritty. Candied alcohol and messy unfermented sugars, but the worst thing is the body tends to fall quite thin in the back. Boozy for 9% ABV, and also too sweet, but at the very least it’s all hops and little malt character.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
On draught at Brugge Brasserie. This brew is a clear dark amber color with a thin and rocky off-white head that diminishes steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of floral hops and citrus along with a touch of honey. Rich body with a strong hops character that has floral and citrus notes. Balancing sweet malt and honey in the background. The finish is moderately bitter hops with an herbal and malt finish. Solid all around.
