On the back of the 12 oz. bottle: "This unique take on the traditional IPA style pairs the bold and intense of whole-cone hop "flowers" with aromatic natural rose hips and petals for complex aromas and unexpected flavors."
Pours into my Dogfish Head pint glass an unfiltered, golden orange color. Lots of floaters are present in this one. The aroma is mainly pine and grapefruit from the hops used, and I don't get much else. The taste is full of the pine and grapefruit, and also has a little bit of tartness, which I assume is from the rose hips and petals? The hop bitterness lingers in my mouth after taking a drink. To me, it's a fairly typical IPA with just a hint of "something else." It's definitely worth a taste if you see it around!
