They did a good job keeping the focus narrowed down on mostly citrus peel elements in this one, so I can't really fault it for being somewhat less complex than other IPAS. Whatever enjoyment the drinker gets out of this one will primarily depend on how much they like the idea of blood oranges approached from a somewhat drier spectrum than is usually seen with the ingredient. Bitterness levels are straddling that blurry grey line in between PA and IPA territory IMHO. Thankfully, the flavor is about 30% drier than the sweetness of the nose had led me to expect. Tastes at first of bitter orange peel, transitions into a herbal / dry biscuit malt combo, and finishes with a straightforward grapefruit pith flourish. Smells like blood oranges as expected, both peel and juice with light herbal and floral hopping used as a framing aroma. Medium body and carbonation levels, slightly creamy in texture. Pours out a clouded pumpkin orange color with a finger and a half of light beige frothy sticky head that sticks around for a few minutes and leaves behind some lovely curtains of lacing on the glass. A refreshing ale on its own and food friendly. The fresh orange flavor helps smooth out the grapefruit bitterness of the Northwest hops. I am enjoying the fresh orange flavor and the way it ends in a bitter crescendo. The bitterness keeps coming in between sips, making me desire to take another one.īody is light despite the cloudiness and carbonation is as well though sufficient to give it a little fizziness.

The orange skin oils and the grapefruit hops combine for a more complex bitterness in the finish. I am enjoying the fresh orange flavor in this. Northwest hop style, seems like some Cascade given the grapefruit in the finish. Tastes of bready caramel malt, then a little orange flesh sweetness and then orange rind and hop bitterness. Smells of bready caramel malt, citrus, and hops. Head was thick and foamy but dissipated to a ring of pancake bubbles with some thick lacing on the glass.

Poured from the bottle into a Bruery tulip glass half way, allowed to settle, repoured to a full glass. ※The next role quest will be available from the Maelstrom secretariat upon reaching level 86 in any melee DPS class.Look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4īody is cloudy straw, unfiltered.Vowing to do your part, you take your leave until your next course of action is decided upon. Back at Maelstrom Command, Merlwyb resolves to put the knowledge she has gleaned from you and Noll to full use in bringing a swift end to the blasphemy.With a fuller understanding of the dangers his people face, Noll returns home, while you and Merlwyb agree to meet back at Maelstrom Command to discuss your next course of action. Noll further explains that these latest victims were affiliated with the Crushing Tide- a Sahagin faction that rejects efforts to make peace with Limsa.
It is there that Noll confirms that the selfsame horror you witnessed at Radz-at-Han has come to Vylbrand, and that the beasts you dispatched were once his very own spawnbrothers. Safe from danger for the moment, you return with Merlwyb and the Sahagin pair to South Tidegate.Helping him to his feet, you set off to rejoin Merlwyb, who is fighting her own battle a short distance away. Noll, who is shaken but otherwise no worse for the wear, thanks you profoundly for saving his life.Breathing a sigh of relief, you turn to the Sahagin youth to ensure he is indeed unharmed. You make short work of the beast mere moments before it strikes down the defenseless Noll.At Merlwyb's behest, you race to save the one named Noll from a grim fate. Grotesque beasts are poised to slaughter the Sahagin you came to meet. You and Merlwyb arrive in Halfstone to see that your fears were indeed warranted.Fearing for their safety, Merlwyb makes for nearby Halfstone in search of them. You rendezvous with Merlwyb at South Tidegate, but -troublingly- your Sahagin allies are nowhere to be found.It is these newfound allies whose help Merlwyb would enlist in further assessing the situation, and she requests you accompany her to a meeting at South Tidegate. The situation in Limsa Lominsa is not entirely grim, for the secretariat at Maelstrom Command informs you that an increasing number of Sahagin have been freed from primal enthrallment and now seek peaceful relations with their neighbors.At the official's behest, you agree to travel to Limsa and lend what aid you can. Admiral Bloefhiswyn has already begun to take action to deal with the threat, and she would have you join in the effort. A blasphemy, one of the fell beasts that portend the Final Days, has been sighted off the coast of Vylbrand.The Lominsan delegate would entreat your aid in dealing with a grave threat back home.
