Nothing "heavy-handed" here (in this day of Imperial IPAs, it’s a definite overstatement), but a nice, mild-but-serious hoppiness to it. It pours an orange color with a head that disappears almost before the pour is finished. Nice hop aroma, a blend of citric and floral. A smoothly bitter taste with some malt coming through. Tart finish. A nice drink.

Grassy and citrus aroma, poured orange with a slight head. Well balanced IPA with a good hops, malt, and alcohol kick.

Darky, ruddy orange with barest of white veils … orange-blossom aroma. Muddy malt flavors with tangy citric bite. Acidic edge grows as you drink. Very nice.

Lot 2743: Orange colored brew with some floaties and a nice rocky off white colored head that is very well retained. Aroma is richly hoppy. Flavor is very nicely hopped. Not too much, just right IMO. Very enjoyable.

Metallic orange body loaded with crud and a minimal head. Nose of apples, tea, and flowers. Very worty. Hoppy flavor and flat feel. Something is not right with Lot 2513.

Pours a cloudy orange with a bit of brown. Large amount of floaties in this one. Medium beige head. Light pine aroma with some sugary malt. Flavor is somewhat hoppy with a little wet cardboard finish. This bottle came out of Lot 2513 and is not very impressive.
