estoppel (1019), Buffalo, New York, USA Feb 9, 2008 Bottle. Amber body, small white head, caramel nose. Estery flavors with some spicy hops (Fuggles?) and caramel but somewhat weak tasting overall.
pumpmaster (288), Florida, USA Oct 13, 2008 12 ounce bottle purchased at Total Wine Pembroke Pines, FL for $1.49 Very good. mansquito (645), Boston/Philadelphia, USA Oct 9, 2008 It pours a coppery orange pour with a really creamy, thick, and long-lasting off-white head. Fruity aroma with a bunch of hops. Taste is malty and doughy at first then it goes to getting moderately hoppy. It gets to be the most bitter at its finish. Palate is nice and creamy with a medium body. Pretty good indeed. Too bad that my friends drank almost this entire six-pack. shadey (1343), Rochester, New York, USA Oct 8, 2008 12oz bottle. Fresh. Mellon orange pour with a nice layer of lacy white cream. The aroma is juicy hops, kinda creamy smelling. The flavor is hops, that are kinda juicy, kinda spicy, and then there are creamy caramel malts that leave a toasty finish. I don’t know that anything here is bad, but I’m not enjoying it. marksahara (79), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Oct 7, 2008 12 oz bottle all around ATL. Pours a yellowish orange with creamy white crown that has minimal-to-moderate retention and very little lacing. Aroma is full of citrus and fruity hops, very unique and likable with a slight malt undertone. Flavour is aggressive at first taste with initial hop bitterness all the way through the taste to the crisp and somewhat bitter finish, but there is a good malt backbone to support the hops. Very decent drinker with moderate carbonation that does not interfere with the taste profile. There is some sweetness in the malt that offsets and balances the hops in the beer. This is much different than a West Coast-style IPA, which is a very good quality for this beer. I’m glad I can get it here in Atlanta, as it’s a safe choice and a reliable drinker for the price. Best beer Abita brews, in my opinion. tubehead (10), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Oct 5, 2008 This is a pleasant IPA - more bitter than most. It pours a nice gold color and has a unique taste - citrus? for an IPA. It has a malty flavor with a dry finish. Not my favorite IPA but I give it credit for originality - I will certainly drink it again.
