on tap-pours an off white head that laces and hazy orange/brown color. Aroma is sweet citrus hops, medium malt. Taste is sweet citrus hops-some bitter, medium malt-caramel, nice, smooth I2PA.

Sampled at Brewgrass 2007. Slightly cloudy orange-brown with a thin off-white head. NIce palate - stays just short of being too thick. Nice robust hop aroma - it has some grapefruit, but isn’t dominated by it, there’s some floral components as well. Same goes for the taste - there’s a some maltiness to add to the piney flavor. A nice NC DIPA.

Brewsgrass 07** You pretty much neede to know the secret handshake in order to try this at the fest.Poured a golden amber color with a ivory head.Piney hop aroma. Hops and malt, which were balanced well with a bitter hop finish.

Poured at Brewgrass Festival. Pours a relatively clear copper orange, with a medium, foamy light tan head. Smells of pretty sizeable hops, with some citrus and malt characters as well. The flavor is big on the malts, with the big citrus grapefruit hops to give it some good balance. A little sticky on the palate, with a mildly bitter aftertaste. Pretty nice flavor, and fairly easy drinking for its alcohol content. Pretty nicely crafted brew.
