4.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20Poured from twelve ounce can purchased at Growlers in Hilton Head Island SC and tasted on July 13, 2012. Cloudy gold hue, small white head, nice sweet hoppy aroma with definite grapefruit notes, delicious bittersweet flavor with grapefruit being present in the taste as well as the aroma. This beer has a bold presence without being overwhelming. This brew would be nearly perfect if the hops were just a tiny bit more assertive but that’s a very minor quibble. I would love to try this on draft. A world class IPA.

Pours cloudy orange/amber w/ 1" creamy off-white head. Cirus fruit, pine and grass aromas mingle with a malty sweetness. Rounded mouthfeel and med body, almost syrup. Despite hoppiness it finished sweeter than expected. Caramel malt, banana balances well w/ pine/grapefruit bitterness - alcohol is well hidden. Excellent IPA.

Nicely bitter and astringent - with a good strong "bite" - Balanced with a juicy, citrus, resin taste (and aroma). Just a gorgeous IPA. (Draft, at The Local Pub, in Athens.)

Outstanding aroma with some fresh fruit, caramel, and pine. There is a nice deal of grassy hops in the flavor, which remains pleasant throughout. My first encounter with this South Carolina brewery, and there is nothing to complain about here.

Pours hazy amber with a finger of white head. Aroma of resin, citrus, mango, caramel malt and toffee. Taste is initial sweet before a balanced hoppy bitter lasting through the finish. Body is light, slick and oily, with low carbonation.

Green colored 12oz can pours with a deep gold body and a bit of haze supporting an off white head of foam. The aroma offers up slippery sweet citrus with some resiny grass notes. The taste is similar with a pleasing thick resiny bitter citrus notes backed up by some malt sweetness. It gets a little earthy with black tea leaves into the finish which only enhances the experience. Darn tasty IPA.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draught. Pours copper in color with a small whitish head. Fresh orange peel and a bit of lemony notes as well in aroma. Some fresh cut grass as well. Mouthfeel is really smooth, not a sign of any harshness. A bit of grassy bitterness in taste accompanied by some lemony juicyness. A bit of bloodgrapefruit in aftertaste. Easy to drink and works well after a hard day of work, preferably outside on the terrace and with the sun shining.
