Ipa on tap at jack of the wood 7/15/11. is coppery amber with a sticky ow head. Slight haze. A is candied hops, citrus, caramel, mild pine, savory earth. F is more sweet/malty than ideal, strange pine/citrus hop combo akin to west coast ipa. Med body with a slickness from residual/crystal. Abv is quite noticeable. 6/3/6/3/13

Draught in Raleigh. A nice craft IPA, not too far to the extreme side, but hoppy enough, and with good flavor. A nice session beer even, were it not for the 6% ABV.

Draft at the tasting room. Clear amber, small whitish head. Fresh, minty, grassy aroma. Caramel, bitter, lemony.

Had this beer on tap at Duckworth’s in Mooresville. Consumed on 9/20/10. Reviewed from notes. Came out a murky dark amber with a slight reddish hue on the edges. A large creamy beige head rested on top. Pretty lace sticks around. The nose pretty basic for the style. Some minor floral tones, mild citrus, and a sweet balanced finish. The body had moderate depth; decent carbonation. Easy drinker. Not too filling. Not a sharp IPA by any means. The hops are tamed down a bit. Well-balanced with toffee sweetness and mild citrus flavors. This is not a ’hop-heads’ IPA, but it is easily accessible and good. I liked it.

Poured a honey amber color. Smells of grapefruit. The English hops hit you first, and then a nice maltiness balances the beer out. I usually don’t like the English style IPA’s, but I thought this beer was very good.

Draft. Pours orange with a white head. Floral and citric hoppy aroma, with light herbal notes. the flavor had floral and grassy hops, with light citric notes and a light sweetness. Pretty good.

Tasted this at the Whiskey in Durham a while back. Nice enough pour, lightly hazy straw yellow with one finger white head. Grassy and zesty nose, mostly grassy with some straw and a light sweetness. Meh flavor, like a light IPA or Extra pale ale maybe. Grassy with a light bitterness.

I was suprised to find this where I did and quickly picked it up for a party I was heading to. Hope profile is very pleasant and on the spicey and herbal side of the equation. Surprised to see it is an english hop profile since the presence was so pronounced. A nice medium bodied and slighlty sweet malt presence. A good and entertaining drink from start to finish.

Draft at the brewpub. Classic amber color with a thin top. This delivers with a very hoppy character, snappy and full of that beloved acid. Great full bodied background. (#4311, 10/5/2011)
