COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
True to its North Carolina roots, this American IPA delivers on the floral, hoppy notes that made Cottonwood a Boone, NC favorite. 100% malted barley and copious amounts Cascade, Magnum, and Chinook hops.

crazyvin (1705) - New York, USA - AUG 5, 2012
A nice orange amber body with a white head. Some retention, but almost no lace. Aroma had a nice citrus hop profile with notes of caramel and toasted malts. Flavor was nicely balanced a nice bitterness from the hops and mostly sweet malts. Finish was slightly dry. Could have used some depth with the hops but seemed more of a session IPA.

Kind of bland. Has a nice looking amber pour with a white head. The aroma is a lot of malt and some bread. A bit of hops come through in the taste. A bit thin.

25-MAR-2013, bottle @Papsø tasting. Hazy golden with creamy off-white, lasting head. Aroma is tea and earthy hops but a little too weak. Taste is much better - again with tea and earthy notes but also some fruity stuff like peach. It is bitter alright with medium body and carbonation.
