Type: American style Indian Pale Ale
ABV: 6.9%
Color: Nice clear Golden-orange with a frothy white head lasts for a good long time while sitting in the glass.
Aroma: Sweet Orange to a light grapefruit. Nice bitterness, but not too strong. The orange essence is the most upfront scent.
Taste: Full bodied with a nice hop front that gets pulled back by the sweetness of the orange zest...actually I would say more of an orange rind, than zest. Some lingering bitterness that is much welcomed, and then a nice touch of malt to close it up.
Overall: I'm not surprised that STBC has put together a very positive review worthy IPA. Most are the same song and dance. This one goes one step further with an orange infusion that is pleasant and welcomed.
Score: 8.4/10
