Amber color. Aromas and flavors of dreamsicle and white chocolate orange peels with an finely carbonated, fruity medium-to-full body and an engaging, medium-long finish that shows suggestions of spiced orange cake and bibb lettuce. A toothsome and natural tasting orange IPA with excellent balance and a long satisfying finish; well done.

About

Flavored IPA

Flavored IPAs are a relatively new beer style developed and popularized in the mid-2010's. They are characterized by the addition of other flavor ingredients, most notably citrus fruit juices used to complement and augment the citrus-forward nature of newer hop varieties used in American IPAs.
