3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Location: Draft at Little Rock Brewpub, 8/23/11
Aroma: The nose has some citrus and pine hops plus some caramel malts
Appearance: The pour is caramel in color with a medium amount of lace
Flavor: The taste is what you would expect, light sweet with a bigger hop profile/bitterness
Palate: The body is light-medium with a slightly metalic mouthfee, fairly easy drinking stuff
Overall Impression:
This one had a fairly standard (read: to be expected) hop profile. There was a nice bitterness there, but no complexity. Just call this one an alright IPA that is hardly memorable.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cloudy rust like in color with almost no lacing. Madium fresh green hop feeling on the nose. Slightly earthy on the palate with a calm and lingering finish. Without being overly abrasive.

3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft at Franklin location. Pours amber with thin off white head. Light piney hops in the nose. Taste of caramel malt and minimal pine notes. More like a APA or ESB. Just Ok.

2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Tap at Boscos Memphis. Slightly hazy amber orange. Thin oily head. Overwhelming diacetyl ringwood action. Quite a sub par offering. Mild soapy hop character, overwhelming off flavors. Amateur hour, this is pretty disgusting.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Sampled at GABF 2011. Yellowish-orange pour. Faint tangerine and grapefruit rind aroma. Decent citrus hop character but too much malt for my tastes. Drinkable and decent.

Tap - fair thick head, medium amber color, nice hoppy citrusy flavor, not the storngest IPA around, but good none-the-less
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sample at Nashville beer fest. Orange and caramel aroma. Sweet flavor with decent body. Orange and a touch of bitterness on the finish. Ok ipa but not great and truly memorable.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draft sampled at Music City Brewers’ Fest. They ran this through a hops infuser of some sort. Poured amber with a medium-sized off-white head. Aroma and flavor were surprisingly subtle for a beer getting an on the spot hops infusion. Aroma was floral and spicy with a nice malt backbone. Flavor was, quite surprisingly, not bitter. Lots of subtle hop flavor, some nice bready malt. Slightly oily palate. The only beer at the beer festival that I went for to get seconds.

on tap at the Little Rock location pours dirty blond with a medium white head. Aroma is strong pine and floral hops. Flavor is awesome. Great balance. Caramel malt and nutty malts are cut by huge pine hope bitterness. A very nice IPA.
