3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Clear golden with a big, puffy, cream colored head. Lacing is substantial. Aroma of citrus, caramel, and pine. The taste is malty and fruity with a mild bitterness and mild woody character. Medium bodied and dry. Definitely not a hop bomb, but a good, solid, well balanced beer.

Not being a fan of the style, I still wanted to do my part. Really lovely nose and very pretty to look at in the glass. Good hopiness but I could not discern any of the orange.

bottle picked up from midway mart. poured gold/orange with a white head. aroma was orange, cream sickle, and a bouquet of citrus notes. Flavor was orange zest, pine, Josh Hamilton’s tears, Yu Darvish sweat, and a slight hint of caramel. body was light and with fizzy carbonation.

Bottle. For starters, I am giving an arbitrary extra point overall for aging a beer on Louisville Sluggers. Nice. Now...pours a gorgeous orange-gold with a creamy, sticky head; the color is so intense it almost glows. Nose is pretty typical west coast IPA -- herbs, resin, and grapefruit. Very hoppy on the front of the tongue, with a cooler, maltier midpalate; the citrus notes are reminiscent of Texas Ruby Red Grapefruit, which is appropriate. Finishes long and tingly -- I would have liked a bit more carbonation, but that’s a minor quibble. Pretty tasty.

22oz bottle.
Bright golden brew with some fluffy white head. Lots of biscuit and bready malt in the nose with some grapefruit and pine. Flavor is more biscuit malt with a weak hop bite, primarily grapefruit. Way overpriced (I paid more for a bomber of this than Endeavour!) but with 100% of the proceeds going to Operation Homefront it’s hard to complain. Underwhelming.
4.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bomber. Pours a pale orange gold with a large creamy off white head leaving sticky lacing along the glass. The aroma is floral hops and citrus. Thin mouthfeel with a light bitter hop with grapefruit and orange flavor. Easy to drink with very smooth IPA. Really enjoyed this one, kudos to Brock and the boys at Saint Arnold for putting this together for a real great cause.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Clear orange pour with a nice white head. Aroma is citrus and floral hops. Taste is orange, grass, and some malt sweetness. Nice bitterness. Pretty solid.

Nice IPA from SA. Orange pour...nice hop nose with orange peel aromas as well. Rich, bright hop flavor with orange and crisp malts flavors. Great beer for a great cause.
