DrnkMcDermott (3730) - Downers Grove, Illinois, USA - AUG 1, 2019UPDATED: AUG 1, 2019 Single bottle from Trader Joe's, Chesterfield, MO. Nice grab of pine and resin hop under the cap. Slightly hazy orange body under a sudsy but thick head. Nice sharp hop taste, which is only then backed up by some toasty, slightly caramel malt. Just a little sticky on the lips, but very easy drinking. And just like that, it's finished.

Jow (6235) - The Hop, Massachusetts, USA - JUN 17, 2018Tap at Cards game. Deep gold. Nose malty and some orange. Tastes of caramel, earthy, floral, orange, malt and pine. Decent
can8ianben (1929) - State College, Pennsylvania, USA - JUN 8, 2018It's pretty good - more malt-forward (maybe that's the wrong term... malt-present?) than I was expecting for the description. Nicely hopped, with a full hop profile including some pine and citrus.
Terminus (3784) - Centennial, Colorado, USA - APR 20, 2018Bottle and a few other bottle/tap samples over the past few months
Pours bright orange hue with a small soapy white head and no lacing. Nose is sweet C hops all grapefruit and orange peel. Flavors exhibit a very balanced IPA lots of citrus on the finish. Body is crisp and lite could be an easy drinking day beer. Overall just a run of the mill ipa with no flaws just nothing that interesting. Nice dryness long into the finish very grapefruit/orange rind bitterness.
dnstone (5952) - Saarland, GERMANY - MAR 8, 2018Pours an orange golden with white head. Light hop aroma, hard to pin down. Mild hop floral earthy flavor.
Notes: bottle, Mar ‘18
jmohno (1835) - Iowa, USA - DEC 19, 2017Hazed chunky orange. Toasty grassy aroma, lemon citrus. Bright taste , same as aroma. Toasty caramel, mild sweet. pretty decent.
beer_rookie (1102) - Arkansas, USA - SEP 3, 2017Pours a cloudy copper color. Chunkies floating around in there. Poured with barely any head. What it did have was late forming. No lacing, no retention.
Aroma is pine, citrus and honey. Smells heavy, sort of like scotch ale.
Taste is sweet, very sweet. Pine, citrus lemon peel. Malty. Touch of honey. Brown sugar.
Mouthfeel is full bodied. I don't taste the alcohol, but I feel it! I guess I'd call it chewy, and smooth.
Overall, this is weird. It's somewhere between barleywine and scotch ale. Seems like ABV is understated. It's okay I guess. I'm intrigued, I'd buy it again, but I wouldn't recommend it.
