At the brewery; amber with nice head and good lacing. Good aroma with malt and hoppy, earthy and slightly sour. The hops are slightly cirtus and piney and I found a light malt character with a slight roasted flavor which gave a lighter body than I expect in an IPA. The finish is smooth, though I think a bit too smooth. This is a very drinkable beer and I look forward to another trip to Harrisburg to try the next batch.

Oct 2, 2008 Poured a slightly cloudy golden yellow color with a tall creamy white head that left a good bit of lacing. A very good floral/citrus aroma. An initial good crisp hoppy bite with a mild citrus flavor. The flavor rolled into a nice hop bitterness on the finish that built throughout the glass. Surprisingly good beer being that I got a 12 pk for $6.99.

Sep 26, 2008 Hoppy trails to you, Appallachian. Bitter, dull rather offensive pine needle flavor with lingering bitter grapefruit rind medicine. Nagging terrible soap. Aroma is same as flavor but more enjoyable and refreshing. Costly, $4 for a bottle, but nice label. On style, what else can be said? Borders on doppel IPA territory.

Aug 21, 2008 [1584-20080816] 355mL bottle. Peat mud aroma has light woodsy floral notes. Clear, light brown orange body with a quick foamy off-white head. Woodsy hops and heavy yeast flavour. Medium-full body. Booooozy.

Aug 16, 2008 Golden color with a soapy white head that leaves pretty good lacing. Smell has a little bit of a nice citrus zest, but is overpowered by some sulfur-like aromas. Initially has a nice grapefruit taste but sadly it kicks into a strange metallic, buttery, and sulfury taste. Lighter than medium body with medium carbonation. I wanted to like this one more, but I just couldn’t seem to get into it.
