I am very happy this great beer is on tap at my local. Excellent balance in this overhopped wonder. Wonderful hop aroma and flavor in this uber IPA. Highly recommended.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 6, 2010 Fomr a 12 oz bottle courtesy of Joe McPhee this poured a light orange with a good and long lasting white head and very stick lacing rings. The nose is a strong citrus aroma. The body is medium and the mouthfeel smooth, slick, and delightful. The flavor mirrors the nose with lots of good citrus and a hint of pine. Long, lingering bitter finish. This is a top-flight IPA.

Sweet & hoppy floral-smelling aroma with fruit-blossom bordering on lilac scent. Taste is initially semi-sweet caramel malt, but flavor segues quickly into a white-peppery spiciness. Aftertaste is a garden-fresh, hoppy combination of white pepper, green pepper, and grapefruit. Aftertaste stuck with me for 5 minutes after leaving the bar. Somewhat lighter than average body for an IPA. This beer is very well put-together, and has a beautifully complex taste. I’m not a huge IPA fan normally, but this one is a winner! markwise (1216), 15 Minutes from Kuhnhenn in, Florida, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 4, 2010 12 oz from Warehouse Wine and Spirits in Spring Hill, FL. Pours yellow-orange with a small, white head. Nose is citrus like crazy: orange, tangerine, almost pineapple with caramel and honey, too. Flavor is the same with lots of great citrus character. Light to medium body with lingering sweetness. brigg (217), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 3, 2010 (bottle) A cloud, light-orange beer with a sizeable off-white head. Wonderfully fruity and floral hop aroma that is sweet and clean. Hop flavor of grass and citrus with some toffee or caramelized sugar notes. Body is nice - medium to full. Bright and refreshing up front and a very bitter finish. Satisfying thirst quencher, but plenty enjoyable besides that. arrogantb (734), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 3, 2010 This beer reminded me of Bristol Edge City IPA in almost every way. The color was a light orange with a white, loosely bubbled head. The smell was sweet and a little floral. The taste was also sweet and no hop bitterness to be found. The drinkability was good as the alcohol was well hidden. I did feel the alcohol after the pint was gone. I am now interested to try Clipper City’s other offerings.

Hoppy and refreshing nice surprise from a place that doesn’t have great selection. I really liked it despite being very hungover. douglas88 (1686), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA

A sweet citrus hop aroma, earthy malts. A similar sweet citrus hop flavor, clean and nice. A smooth brew.
