2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle to glass mug. Pours a copper / yellow color with a sparse white head. Doesn’t have much of a hoppy nose to it. More sweet malt flavor than hop. Actually, I don’t get hardly any hop bite or flavors. Pretty uneventful IPA. It’s just kinda...there.
1.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 5/20
12oz bottle pours a dark amber/orange with a medium off-white head. Aroma is very malty, floral, and fruits. Taste is sweet and malty with an awful mineral bitterness presence. Had another one from this brewery with the same mineral presence. I’m guessing they just don’t have quality water.

3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Tastes like a hoppier hoppy Belgian. A bit sweet, fruity hops, smooth mouthfeel like a duvel or something, but a good deal hoppier. Not bad, an interesting twist on an ipa.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Pours a golden orange color with a white foam head. Aroma of grapefruit, lemongrass, and caramel. Sweet caramel taste with a hop hit and some notes of grape fruit and lemon zest on the back end. Some funk mixed in.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Savannah, Ga - Habersham Beverage Warehouse - 12 oz bottle. Murky dark golden pour, Sticky white head that leaves plenty of lacing. Odd, lemony aroma. Flavor has some bready, yeasty flavor, some muted citrus, more lemony than grapefruit-like. Mouthfeel is decently thick.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
It’s alright. Nice prange pour with some hop, spice, and pine flavors and aromas.
The only problem I’ve seen so far with this company is the beers are a little thin in the body and taste.
2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
This one tasted more like a cardboardy lager to me than an IPA. Pale yellow, a little grapefruit hop to it, but a cardboard finish. Thin.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Very good IPA. Taste and aroma is full of hops like any good IPA. The body was a little lacking but its a relatively light beer for an IPA. Good overall beer
1.1 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 2/20
Yikes, this was not a good choice on my part. Old, over attenuated with too much carbonation and just flat out lacking hops and bitterness. This beer should be kept local and not shipped to the Midwest.
