On tap at the brewery. Pours a clear orange with a thick white head. Aroma of perfume, tropical fruits, citrus, and caramel malt. Flavor of sweet tropical fruits up front followed by more fruits, lemon, bready malt, and grassy hops. A fruity and flavorful IPA! 8/4/8/4/14 (3.8/5)

Draft. Light copper color with a small white head and nice lacing. Floral aroma with a resin and citrus hop flavor. Medium body with a medium bitter hop finish.

Get it with fresh hops by visiting the brewery in Birmingham. Good folks up there. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Draft. Poured amber with a medium-sized off-white head. Aroma and flavor are piney and citrusy, only moderately bitter. Some caramel. Medium mouthfeel. Sessionable if not for the high ABV (if it is, in fact, 8% -- didn’t seem it to me).

Tried this at Rocket City Brew Fest. It was being pumped through additional hops, and I didn’t make it over to try the straight tap version. However, it was quite nice and citrus with the standard piney notes you’d expect. The only note I took was that I didn’t find it as heavy as some of the other IPAs. The description says it was brewed to be more approachable (less bitter). Cool but the I in the IPA usually says get ready for the bitter. Overall, though, pretty good. I didn’t realize it was 8% at all.
