3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20Cloudy straw color, small off white head. Aroma is floral and a bit fruity. Taste has a strong tropical fruit character but finishes with this strange tart sweetness that kind of ruins the beer for me.

Picked up one of these yesterday at the Frisco Sandwich Shop in Frisco, NC while on vacation. I can’t give a description of the appearance since it was consumed out of a bottle and describing the taste (didn’t take notes) won’t be easy but I recall nice pine notes in both the aroma and taste. There was also a mild sweetness. Overall this beer was much better than I expected and better than your run of the mill IPA. If I get a chance to pick up another this week I will update this review but it was decent.

Orance/amber pour w/ small white head. Sweet fruitiness like pear and pineapple along with resinous pine. Med carb - crisp and smooth mouth. Tastes of caramel and fruit w/ a strong pine hop finish. Nice balance w/ some grapefruit in the finish. Very nice IPA w/ great balance.

Found this in the Charlotte airport. Nice brew. Pale orange in color. Nice mouth feel. Decent floral aroma. Quite hoppy. A bit too astringent for me. The bitterness also takes over on the end. It’s a really good but not mind blowing IPA.

Bought from Charleston Beer Exchange. Caramel color. Nice and hoppy with a very smooth light finish. Enjoyed!

hoppy, astrigent and super dry. IBU 70. Had on tap at dajio in Ocracoke- best (and most local) choice on tap. Pours a perfect orange colour with a thin head. Nose is grapefruit and citrus- enough to make your nose tickle. Hops are the west coast C’s that never get old- more citrus, less pine. good finish- good when colder, starts to be a bit much on its own or when it warms to room temp. guess I should have consumed faster. really solid IPA. foothills is quickly becoming my favorite NC brewery- between people’s porter and this offering.

A pretty good IPA. The color is hazy orange, thee’s a medium, brief head. The aroma is a little muted, but the hops are there. They’re stronger in the taste. Darn strong, in fact, with a bitter, piney, west coast hops burn that never offers anything surprising but never gets old, either.
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Floral, tropical fruits. Can be a little too piney, hop heavy in the finish for me. Still a great IPA.
1.8 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Over carbonated with a great deal of froth. Smells like soap, and has a strong piney, resinous, and slightly earthy/dank. Has hints of grapefruit and orange rind.

Really liked this one. Color was orange/amber. Aroma was a bunch of grapefruit hoppiness. Flavor was all hop including grapefruit and nicely astringent. Finished bone dry. Very refreshing, very enjoyable.
