I found this at a pub in a small town in South Carolina, apparently it’s only available on the Atlantic coast. Sad for me, as I was on a business trip and live in the midwest, where it’s not available. Outstanding IPA, by far the best I’ve ever had. Nice citrus and floral taste and aroma. Perfect bar drink while snacking and playing darts.

A staple up here in New Hampshire. Out of all the IPA’s I’ve tried this one consistently pleases. It has a pleasant hoppy bite with a crispness that is hard to define. It’s quite likely you may kill a 12 pack of these in a sitting and wonder where they all went. I’ve only had a couple beers better than this, but nothing in this category.
