Soft light blonde pour with one finger of off white head. Nose is dry and zesty with a lightly citrusy character and lots of crushed black pepper. Resinous and oily with a very green/fresh hop character and notes of citrus and a lightly spicy character. Dry and light bodied.

Citrus aroma and taste mark this amber orange beer with a floral mouthfeel. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Originally reviewed: 2/7/11. Came out a clear dark orange/gold. This is a little more pale than I expected. A small white head caps it off, but this leaves lots of sticky lacy rings on the glass. The aroma on this beer is nothing short of amazing. Very powerful scents of pineapple, grapefruit, orange, mango. Total citrus bomb! Slight peppery finish. I could smell this all freaking day. Perfect. Nice mellow depth, with a crisp finish. The bubbles play lightly on the palate. This is a hop head’s IPA for sure. Big bitterness all the way through, but more than that, the hops are juicy and full of flavor. Citrus tones lead the way, mild sweetness in the middle, but this is fleeting. Oily at times, but dries me out on the back end. It then finishes how it started: bitter. Great IPA that hit the spot.

sample at Brewvival on 2/25/12. golden pour with a 1+ finger white head. citrus / earth and grass hop nose. med body with a nice citrus bitterness >. bitter finish with spice and earthy bitterness.

Draft at Brewvival 2012. Pours a hazy amber with a medium sized frothy tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma of resin, citrus and earthy hops. The taste is resin, citrus, tropical hops and pale malts. Medium-full bodied.

Sampled at the Raleigh Rare and Vintage festival. Hazy yellow pour with a good white head. Sweet light citrus nose. Big clean lemony, grassy, citrus flavor with a decently bitter lingering finish. Solid.

Good beer. This was a very aromatic IPA, had nice citrius notes in aroma. The taste was hop juice with citrius notes.

Growler split with daniel and amanda. Yellowish color pour with a white head on it. Smell is fruity and hoppy. Grass, grapefruit, and other flavors in the nose. Taste is easy to drink and very pleasing. Someing i would drink alot...better than hopppyum.
