cloudy orange, over abundant frothy white head, creamy body, bitter floral hop aroma, balanced flavor with dry caramel malt and lots of hop bitterness, a bit of sweetness slowly grows but the bitterness rules to the end,

Hazy orange and golden in colour with a medium sized tan head. Malty with notes of caramel, pines, flowers and citrus.

12 oz bottle from Julios. Light amber, hazy orange in color. Some citrus and pine in the aroma, with alot of caramel/crystal malt. Seems like this one may have a few months of age on it. Taste is caramel with a nice citrus and pine hop flavor to balance. Light to moderately bitter, which lingers nicely. I’d like to try a fresher bottle.

12 oz bottle via TomDecapolis (thanks!). Pours a semi-clean orange copper with an average size beige head. Nose is floral and piney with some lemon notes. mmm, this is tasty! Starts with some citrus hops right out of the gate, some lemon, orange, pine, grapefruit, then leaves a nice bittersweet tangerine aftertaste. The malt backbone is there and is solid, but the hops ride on top quite nicely thank you! Body is solid, carbonation is moderate. Excellant IPA!

A very nice IPA, compared to their II quite an accomplishment. Good amber color with a above average head. Floral hop aroma with average bitterness. Medium dry finish. A fairly good strong session ale.

Copper with thin head. Mild fruit aroma, but nothing distinct. Notes of fruits & hops with strong bitter finish.

Bottle. Great looking IPA color with little head. Nice hop nose. Taste is your basic malt with good hop balance. Pine, citrus and good bitterness on the end.
