What Our Editors Thought

“Strong classic IPA aroma with woody hops and a touch of orange. A bit loose in the flavor, as cooler top notes compete with the warmer body.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Pine hop aroma (needles and bark). Light orange peel. Soft caramel malt. Hop flavor of citrus, pine resin, and light black pepper. An old-school IPA, with a touch of crystal malt to add some balance to the smooth, lasting bitterness.”

What the Brewers Say

“Cascade and Centennial hops provide a piney hop character. Dark caramel malts. Bitter and old-school, red-orange IPA.”
