Tap at Blind Tiger. Deep copper coloured brew. Thin white head. Aroma is great. Rich and spicy with a light zestiness. Well-integrated with the soft bready malt base. A touch of caramel flavour sets off the spicy hoppiness. Fairly assertive bitterness with a lingering hoppy floral/spicy flavour. Tasty brew.

Deep copper colored with frothy off-white head. Nose is citric hops, caramel malt, some spicy notes. Tastes resiny hoppy, orange zesty, caramelly, with a decent balance and palate complexity.

[Draft @ TDR SH] Poured a clear amber color with a small, off white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel malts, pine, floral hoppiness, grass, and a bit of citrus fruits. Taste of citrus fruits, with lemongrass, and a bitter, dry, lemony finish.

On tap at SF Pville. Pours a mostly translucent orange amber with a medium off white head. Aroma of pine, citrus, caramel malt and cereal grains. Flavor of the same, lightly spicy notes, lots of orange in flavor along with toasted malt.

Draught at Phoenixville Brewpub: Aroma of hops, citrus, grapefruit, and orange. Poured amber/orange in color with a small, creamy, off-white head. Clear. Lightly sparkling. Excellent lacing. Medium to heavy bitter flavor. Tastes of hops, berries, fruit, pine, and a little alpha acid. Medium body. Sticky texture. Average carbonation. Bitter hop finish. More bitter than several of the most recent IPAs in this IPA Project.

Tap at Barcade: Deep copper pour with a strong tan head. Fruity hop nose. Orange marmalade, fresh hemp, nice resinous character. Slightly over carbonated at first, but then it mellows down. very earthy flavor. Twiggy, hemp-like, resinous with some orange-rind characteristics. Solid bitter finish. I enjoy the IPA, in general, because I like learning about each individual hop. Hello Sterling!
