Bottle to pint. Looks decent; a transparent orange with white lacing. Smells alright, but definitely malt-forward for an IPA. Tastes like it smells, but thin and unbalanced, with an average (at best) mouthfeel. Nope.

Used to love picking up the 12 beers of Christmas at Peter’s and icing this one down right away. Tastes slightly better than the pale ale. Brings back some great memories.
