3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at the brewery in August 2009. Reviewed from notes.
Pours a medium amber-copper color with an off white head that leaves behind a tiny bit of lacing. Nose brings a good amount of citrus rind with a bit of citrus as well. Some amber and caramel malt in the background. Taste lays off the hop presence from the nose, bringing forward more balance and losing some of the nice hop integration that existed in the nose. Feel is medium with slight bitterness. Drinks pretty well and is one of their better non-sour offerings.
Serving type: on-tap

3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at Trappeze in Athens, GA, this familiar brew gave off the rich aroma of hops well before I put it to my nose. Lemon bitterness dominated the relatively thin malt profile, although this eased into a bit more balance with the addition of fried food. A thin head left ample lacing, and this felt just like an ipa should feel: on the edge of sessionable and memorable. Overall, this is too imbalanced to be a favorite - I prefer a bit more sweetness - but is a distinguished and more than adequate American interpretation of the style.
