Glowing orangish gold color with a slight smear to it. Thin, off-white cap. Finely placed, closely scattered, spotty sheets of lacing sticks across the glass.

Toasty with a big orange oil aroma starts from the pour. Very pungent, rich, oily, and deep with a well-rounded citrusy realm with notes to cannibus, the sister of hops, and some doughy fresh malts.

Taste is well oiled in citrusy hops, oily, flavor heavy with oranges, a flint of lime, lemon and tangerine, yet calmly bitter with rinds and resins, somewhat smokey with herbal nuances. Quite a nice taster. Nice malt backing thats lightly toasty and bready/doughy. The bitterness closing in the finish is delicate and nurtured to perfection with a nice amount of citrus rinds, oils, and smokeyness.

Smooth and oily textured feel from front to back. Quite silky for an IPA, even its bite tends to be smoothed out in oils and resins. Body is moderate in mediumness with a rich, soothing, quaffable, drenchable, lower carbonation that is utterly beyond average in drinkability. Damn good stuff. Winterfish would be one to bring to the frozen lakes while fishing through the ice if it were here in MN.

A - Pours a nice golden body that is clean and clear with many bubbles rising to the top. Starts with a thick white, one finger head that recedes to a nice thin layer covering the surface.

S - Big fruity, citrusy hops. Orange and lemon scents. Mild, bready malt backing up the hops.

T - Big and fruity, this IPA is. Sweetness from pineapple, grapefruit, apples, pears, and cherries can be found here. Lemon and orange hoppiness. Sweet, light malts back it up. This is thoroughly different and likeable. Not your run of the mill IPA.

M - Medium bodied with a smooth, unabrasive carbonation.

D - This is very different and refreshing. Nice IPA.
