does not count May 7, 2008 Pours a nice bronze color, nice grassy smell of hops, the grassy smell follows into the taste. A pretty good drinking IPA!

May 7, 2008 On tap @ Blind Pig. Dark amber pour with frothy head and lacing. Aroma of piny hops, some malt, citrus, and some caramel. Very bitter, hoppy flavor combined with caramel malts, grapefruit, and piny. Good balance for an IPA and very drinkable.

May 4, 2008 Grape, cantolope, pastry sweet malts. Floral + citrus hops.
Hop bite up front, extra bitter (almost medicinal) grassy-citrus hops mid with the malt kickin in for balance. Butterscotch + yeast finish.
Oily texture, malty smooth. Palate is typical of a IPA.

May 4, 2008 Considering the name I was expecting more hops, but that said it ended up not being too much of a dissapointment. It was one of my last beers on a South Carolina/Georgia tour and it was a great way to finish.
Ap: Poured clear, slightly dark amber color. Good head that retained extremely well.
Ar: A good smell with one of the better hop smells shining through. A slight smell of caramel seemed to be present.
F: Great. Was expecting an overpowering taste and at first was dissapointed (more surprised) after I got over that it was a quick jump to the top of the hill. A good malty taste made the balancing complete on the fine IPA.
P: A smoother taste. The hops provided the right bite and aftertaste.
O: Very good, I switched off this to try something new. Wish I had not, will definately be seeing this beer again!
In summary not one for an extreme hop head, maybe what a hop head would drink when they want a lighter beer for a change.
