Pipeworks Blood Orange Guppy Session IPA

Pipeworks Blood Orange Guppy, Session IPA with blood orange and honey. 4.6% ABV. Flavored ale.  Pipeworks Brewing, Chicago, IL.

Highly hazed, pale yellow appearance, slim white head.

In the nose: nice bitter and fruity notes. Getting as much grapefruit as blood orange, and honey peeks around the corner.

In the mouth: pop, pop, pop, from the hops. Good 'n' hoppy from the front. Starts with a slap, then leans back. Lightish body. Slides down nice and easy. Blood orange flavor isn't as strong as I'd like, but as it is, it's a fine drinking ale and there's nothing wrong with that. Takes turns between bitter and sweet. I like it, I'd drink one again.
