4.6 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
UPDATED: FEB 5, 2010 Aroma reminded me of sticking my head in the hop refrigerator of a homebrew supply store...Fantastic! Bitterness was good, but not too extreme. Good hop flavor. Had a large, malty body to go along with the hops. I prefer it this way rather than some IPA’s that have over-the-top bitterness paired with a dry body. This is my kind of IPA. Great job. (Make sure you ask for an UN-frozen glass.)
Since this company is out of business, the following probably doesn’t matter all that much. Still, I thought I should point out that the Hop Island I tasted (and loved) years ago was produced at the Tallahassee, FL location.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Best of the Buckheads so far. Aroma - thought I was in a South Florida grapefruit warehouse - nice and citrusy to say the least. Flavor was the same - and lasted throughout. Hoppiness was not overwhelming though in that it did not leave a bad aftertaste. Nice copper color appearance as well. Buckhead has really improved itself in the last year or so I must say.

The hop bitterness hits you right between the eyes from the first sip to the last. Nice amber color. Hopheads will love this one.

Citrus/pine. Not as tooth-peeling as it could be, which is good; I like hop flavor, but excess bitterness can sometimes be irritating.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
Aroma is grapefruit and caramel. Medium copper color with laced head. Very citrusy in flavor, with butter/caramel finish. A very warm brew.
