AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
12 ounce bottle, no freshness date. Pours crystal clear light orange amber color with a dense 2 finger off white head with great retention that reduces to a thick lacing cap that lasts. Some fairly thick lacing sticks to the glass as you drink. Aromas of big citrus, orange peel, pine, caramel, spice, breadiness, and a bit of tropical fruits. Some nice aromas with decent strength as well. Taste of huge orange, pine, caramel, and spices. Big caramel sweetness on the front with a nice amount of bitterness on the finish that lingers for a while with pine, spice, and citrus flavors. Very nice balance of bitterness and sweetness in this as well. Medium carbonation and body with a very smooth and slightly creamy mouthfeel. No alcohol noticed in the taste or finish, very drinkable as well. Overall, a fantastic IPA with great balance, flavor, and drinkability.
Delicious IPA from AVBC. I definitely enjoyed this far more than their DIPA.
