Meadville, Pennsylvania USA

Serve in Shaker, Tulip

Nothing on the bottle indicates which "season" this beer is. It starts with a mild grapefruit aroma, and pours a clear golden-amber, with a full white head. The flavor is a bite of pine and citrus with a sharp bitterness, and a long lingering finish. There’s a bit of sweetness that comes in the middle, which is not the standard caramel malt flavor. Overall this is an interesting beer and concept, I’d just like to be able to tell which "season" the beer is.

22oz bottle with green cap-pours a big foamy offwhite head that laces with hazy gold color. Aroma is citrus-orange, some light malt. Taste is citrus-orange/some grapefruit/lemon/pine hops with some bite, secondary sweet light/medium malt-bready. Crisp.

bottle thanks to exiled. light amber with a white head. nose is lacking of hops, malts, and sweet. easily on the palate, no real hop flavor, mostly malts.

Bottle courtesy of watson1977. Pale amber with slight haze. Moderate grapefruit and pine hops, with light fruity esters and malt sweetness. Round grapefruit bitterness with decent enough malt/caramel backbone. Light astringency. A decent offering.

22oz bottle from Wegman’s in State College, PA. Pours a cloudy, brighter orange colored body with a finger-width, frothy, off-white head that dissipates slowly and leaves a nice lacing throughout. Aroma is a good amount of citrusy florals with a bit of an earthy pepper and a hint of pine. Malts offer a light bready and caramel sweetness. Flavor is similar. Lots of citrusy florals up front with a light bready caramel. Some pines and a bit of an earthy pepper increase towards the end as the citruses get a bit juicier and the florals increase as well. A bit of a toasted bread comes in at the end before this finishes dry with a moderate bitterness and a good amount of citruses. Lengthy aftertaste following a smooth, medium body and a soft, moderate carbonation. Overall, a nice IPA. Solid citrusy hopping with a good amount of florals and some earthy peppery pines balanced well with a lightly sweetened caramel and toasted bread. Easy drinking and enjoyable.

(22oz bomber thanks to Exiled) pale yellow with soapy bubbles. Nose of subdued hops, orange pulp, bread and lactose. Taste of bread, bit of citrus, light on the bitterness, toward the malty side of IPAs. Oldish, and an oily body.

Cloudy gold pour with a fizzly white head. Mild but pleasant aroma of citrus and pine hops. Taste is slightly medicinal, a little bit hoppy with a lasting bitter finish. Some underlying fruity sweetness. Palate is fairly light. Pretty average. I remember liking this a lot more when I sampled it at a beer fest.

Bottle from a trade with watson1977. Pours dark golden color with white head. Citrus and caramel malt aromas. Bitter citrus flavor with a hint of sweetness. Medium body with average carbonation and a dry finish. Thanks Kerry.
