3.7/5
AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
12 ounce bottle into tulip, no bottle date(oddly). Pours crystal clear reddish orange color with 2 fingers of a fairly dense khaki head with good retention that reduces to a fairly thick lacing cap. Some nice lacing clings to the glass as well. Aromas of big caramel sweetness, pine, orange, pineapple, mango, oak, and some spices. Decent aromas with decent strength. Taste of pine, caramel, oak, spices, and a bit of citrus. Decent amount of bitterness present on the finish that linger with pine, oak, and spices. Alcohol is well hidden with only a small warming on the finish. Nice balance of sweetness and bitterness. Medium carbonation and body, with a bit of a creamy mouthfeel. Nice and smooth drinkability. Overall, a nice oak aged IPA.
Not sure what hops were used in this one, but they weren't hitting any chords with me. Still pretty solid and drinkable stuff.
