Great citrusy hop aroma. Pours slightly hazey. Strong hop taste from the "c-hops". Very refreshing.

Draft. Clear pale color. Finger thick no rocky off white head. Chinook aroma is robust. Quite bitter for a IPA. I've had double IPAs that don't linger as long as this one. It tastes like it was dry hopped with cascade. It's that prevalent. Lacing is among the best I've seen. Awesome.

My first beer at Brewgrass 2010 (I had to get some verification first, so that’s why it took me so long to rate it. In case you were wondering) - great way to start. I have huge weekness for crisp, flowery anc citrusy IPA’s, with a slightly thinner body. Really tasty stuff!

1/2 Pint at Revolution Pizza. Pours a pretty orange color with a good head. The aroma is surprisingly good, I wasn’t expecting this kind of straight up PNW hop goodness. It’s not anything out of the ordinary but the grapefruit, assorted citrus and evergreen aromas are solid and clean. The body is crisp and medium weight. This is a solid and very drinkable IPA. Lots of pine on this one, especially in the finish along with an interesting herbal note, something like rosemary, that I’ve tasted in some of Yazoo’s Hop Projects. There is a strong, clean bitterness throughout the flavor and a even malt presence for balance. I thoroughly enjoyed this one and am intrigued as to why so many other raters on the site did not care for this one. Perhaps Aviator has gotten their proverbial IPA shit together.

Orange pour with frothy off white head and lace. Large resiny hops and some bread. Resiny hops, bread, dry bitter finish, with a very large resiny bitter. Medium bodied with good carbonation and the bitter lays hard on your tongue. Pretty nice

Mostly clear medium gold color with a sticky, lasting head.
Subtler floral hop aroma with some citrus notes as well.
Smooth and well balanced. Sweet start with a bitter finish.

I like this beer more than others. On draft at Lafayette Village Grill. BTW...they have a GREAT NC beer selection. Cloudy...big citrus..seems like a very fresh keg. Will order when I see it on draft.

Served on draft at the restaurant. Pours a clear golden color with a medium sized creamy off-white head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of citrus hops and not much else. The taste is citrus and herbal hops with an almost peppery note. Medium bodied, low carbonation, lingering bitterness.

Bottle pours a hazy orange with a thin white head. Scent is citrus and pine. Taste is citrus and grass.
