THOUGHTS: Rather British. I don’t know where they got the idea that this beer was a crimson color. Nice take on the style. It was sort of right in between a British and American IPA. Very nice balance. TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a clear, light to medium orange with and average, slightly off-white head that mostly diminished, but left good to excellent lacing. The aroma was light caramel malt and orange juice; moderate to heavy herbal, orangey and lemony hops; with a little les pine hops; light doughy and earthy yeast and slight honey. The initial flavor was light to moderately sweet and bitter; while the finish was sweet and rather bitter with a long duration. There was a little honey, candy, caramel malt, orangey hops, pine hops, resinous hops, earthy hops, a little yeast, lemony hops and a little toast. The medium body was a little syrupy and then fairly dry with fizzy carbonation and a dry and slightly metallic finish.

Sampled on draft at D’s Monroeville this beer poured a hazy orange-amber color with a medium sized head that faded quickly. The aroma as mild perfumey, grapefruity and piney hops. The flavor was tart and very bitter with moderate perfumey, floral and grapefruity hops. The finish was long and perfumey. Not too impressive.

Orange color in pour nice amount of lacing white head ... light floral hop aroma taste of sweet malt then citrus and a nice bitter hop finish at the end ... a very decent ipa not overpowering with a clean taste .... if you like a little hop but not too much this is for you

Solid west coast juicy hop aroma, citrus forward and inviting. Sticky white head, great lacing, orange gold in the center, damn near clear on the edges. Strong with hop character, soft malt and light in body. Grapefruit everywhere. More like an XPA.

Bottle. Sweet fruity nose, perhaps overly sweet. Hazy orange pour with a pillowy beige head. Taste is strongly bitter with a large hop presence but the fruit subsides, some big rubber and light astringency, and caramel under the de-fruited grapefruit. Medium body and a little slimy. Pass.

1 of these was enough for me. Not too much hops, but not too little either.

Not bad for an IPA which I’m not a big fan of, however, it is fairly well-balanced and not as bitter as most IPA’s. Very hoppy, smells and tastes like orange rind.

12 oz bottle . Caramel and light grain with citrus hops in nose. Resiny hop flavor over caramel with a light graininess in flavor. Finish is grainy with moderate residual bitterness.
