UPDATED: NOV 2, 2022 On tap at the Orange Peel, Asheville. Cloudy orange golden with medium creamy white head. Hoppy, fruity, citrus, pine, nice bitterness in finish.

UPDATED: AUG 13, 2022 On tap, Tortuga’s Lie, Nags Head. Golden pour, frothy head. Fruity malt base, pine hoppy bite. Good.

UPDATED: JUL 17, 2021 Draft. Amber beer with a cream head. Light grapefruit and light pine aroma. Grapefruit and pine flavor with earth. Medium bodied. Good bitterness. Grapefruit and pine linger with light earth.

UPDATED: APR 7, 2021 Second IPA tonight from Foothills. Pours clear bright gold. This one takes the hops up a notch ! And I’ll be taking the average rating up as well!

UPDATED: SEP 22, 2019 Poured a deep hazy yellow with a two finger frothy head that quickly dissipated to a thick film. Aroma is tropical citrus and pineapple. Initial light malt with a burst of tropical citrus and balanced piney hops on the finish. The feel is a bit thick but still in the moderate range with medium carbonation. While this is very refreshing, it is not crisp. This is a great balanced IPA that is very drinkable. The brew hides the higher ABV well.

UPDATED: JUL 9, 2019 Sampled on draft this beer poured a dark amber color with a large foamy white head that left decent lacing. The aroma was citrus, earthiness and pine. The flavor was tangy and bitter with citrus, a bit of cactus and earthiness. Medium length finish. Medium body.

UPDATED: FEB 3, 2019 Very easy to drink- bottle form at the Banner Elk Cafe- I’m sure it would be better on tap.

On tap at Flying Saucer - Raleigh, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out a pungent and rather bitter piney hop character upfront, with a crisp toasted biscuity malt base. Flavour is along the same lines, bringing out bold piney hops, light dankness, and crisp biscuity malt. Piney and punchy. Very good.

A decently balanced IPA with good color and appearance. The initial taste is better than the aftertaste, but that could be how it was preserved in the bottle. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
