COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This unique take on the traditional IPA style pairs the bold and intense aromas of whole-cone hop "flowers" with aromatic natural rose hips and petals for complex aromas and unexpected flavors.

Pours a light cloudy light copper or more like a dirty orange. Big aromas of flowery hops, caramel, amd just a touch of funkyness. Flavors of floral hops, and some "unexpected flavors" like a citrus note that doesn’t seem to pair with the other floral hop note. Like they were not meant to be together. Not that it taste bad, just different. The caramel doesn’t back up the hops to much. Theres also this sour/bitter note. Medium bitterness with mostly hops coming through. Leaves a medium bitter aftertaste. The flowers (not the hops) do add a strange dimension but worthy of trying for a twist on an ipa. Not your average, and for sure, above.

DuffMan (5192) - the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, CANADA - MAY 12, 2013
Bottle. Light orange with fine colloidal particles that remain in suspension. Aroma is grapefruit and pine, not much in the floral department. Hoppy dry palate, mirroring the nose, more herbal than floral really. I think this would have to be drunk pretty fresh to appreciate any delicate floral aromatics, just guessing. Still a fine IPA though.
