Bottle into snifter. Pour is golden orange with a fluffy white head. Nose is like orange cream soda and a sweet vanilla and caramel. Very floral and aromatic citrus hops. Nice. Taste is similar with a nice bitter finish. Very smooth vanilla undertones bring out and accent the citrusy hops. Good stuff yet again from Southern Tier.

Whole Foods, P St, DC bomber ($7): Pours a golden colour with a white head. Aroma is rather malty, and pretty hoppy; much like an IIPA for the most part. Taste is a little bit sweet. The hops are somewhat bitter, but leave surprisingly little aftertaste. Some astringency. There is another taste there that I can’t quite place. Pretty good, but nothing excessively innovative or unique.
