1. Look - The beer looks tasty. There are steady bubbles not much of a head though. The beer is very clear with no sediment and a golden color. 2. Sniff - A very piney aroma enters the nose with a scent of malt as well. 3. Sip - A smooth but overly piney IPA. A light bodied beer with a very soft carbonation. There is an initial bitterness and with a long piney finish. 4. Another Look – The head has disappeared, but the bubbles are still rising. 5. Evaluate - Overall, I really don’t particularly like this IPA. The powerful piney flavor is very strong. It does have a crisp taste to it, which is refreshing, but I don’t know if I would recommend this IPA to a friend. However, I would recommend trying as an experience to fans of the IPA style, but not to enjoy regularly or even as a treat. Maybe it is better on tap?

Beautifull clear reddish copper pour with not much head but a good solid ring.Hop aroma is mild or short lived but you get a dark malt/robust aroma spicy like. In flavor also spicy hops robust roasted carmel malt.Im impressed at the individuality of this ipa.The character of the robust dark carmel taste is pronouced with a good ipa bitterness that fits pretty well.Spicy robust med full bodied smooth grassy hoppy earthy herbal almost juniper like ipa.Good stuff right here,ill take a few more. This ipa stands out and lets you know its not average.

Copper pour pale almost clear .. thin off white head soapy light lacing .... aroma of biscuity malts, floral and some funky hops .... taste is biscuity and caramel malty with some bitter and floral/funky hops and a lingering bitter hop ..... more of an english style ipa ... sessionable

Poured from a bottle into a snifter. Appearance is a hazy copper with a beige head of foam that dissipates pretty quickly. Aroma is pungent, musty herbs and resin. Taste is malty on the front end with notes of walnuts and bread moving toward a juicy, floral, resinous middle and end. Finish is slightly dry. A faint alcohol burn at the very end. Almost chewy mouthfeel, but not quite right.

Bottle 12fl.oz. @ home.

On tap at Akkurat in August 2011. My first beer from Abita. Clear light amber with a small head. Quite hoppy aroma with flowers and grape. The taste was not extremely hoppy, good but nothing spectacular.

Pours a nice clear amber with light head. Strong fruity and floral aroma with lots of earthy pine tones. Earthy dankness continues to evolve on the palate and then ends abruptly with sharp bitterness. Good IPA all in all.

Tap @ Akkurat. Clear golden with a nice fluffy white head. Hoppy resiny aroma with some faint grape, almost a bit of smoky wood. Taste is just slightly sweet with dry caramel and peach but foremost its resinous hops with some grapefruit peel. Medium body with soft carbonation. Good! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
