Jun 24, 2008 Compliments of DrBayern. Came in a growler from Brusin’ Ales in Asheville! Poured with a healthy head that remained through the drink. Nice floral hops aroma started my mouth watering.
Nice mouth feel as the bitterness hit. Nice spice on the finish.
A very good IPA that was very drinkable! Wish we had more!

Jun 23, 2008 Growler from Bruisin’ ales on 6/23/08, shared with Doboy and another friend.
Aroma - Floral and spcy hops, some grainy, grassy notes, and finally a little toffee.
Appearance - Clear orange, healthy off white head with some decent staying power.
Flavor - Bitterness comes on quickly over a quality malt backbone. Lengthy dry and spicy finish.
Palate - Medium body and carbonation, clean palate.
Overall - Fairly bitter example of a cross between an English and American IPA. Aassertive hopping from the standpoint of bitterness.

Jan 20, 2008 Tap @ Barleys Taproom Asheville, NC. Pours a clear copper with a one finger off-white head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of floral & earthy hops, sweet malt, and light caramel. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium mouthfeel with a moderate amount of bitterness and dry crisp finish. Very good.

Dec 23, 2007 Served to me a hazy burned orange with a ring of head and spotty lacing. Smells a little malty with a bitter hoppiness. Taste is pretty simple with a little malt that doesn’t hang with or balance the bitter hops. Medium in the mouth with light carbonation. Took a little time to get through it.
