From the bottle, pours a tanslucent light orangish color with a thick foamy white head, nice lacing. Nose is fruity, citrusy, some caramel maltiness as well. Taste is lackluster, but not half bad. Same citrusy maltiness, smooth, a bit of hops at the end. Ok beer.

About an average IPA. Pretty well balanced. Sweet up front and dry finish. A bit thin. Not to bad but a lot better.

Picked this one up at Brawley’s Beverage in NC. Pours a golden/orange color with a decent off-white head with some retention. First scent I got was malty followed by light floral hopping. Malts are present in the flavor as well and hops are perhaps a bit light for an IPA but there’s at least more of a crisp bitter grapefruit hoppy taste than the aroma would indicate, which is a good thing. I thought their Pale Ale was a bit underhopped as well. Anyways, not a top shelf IPA but certainly drinkable.

This is a mild, but good IPA. It goes down smooth and is easy drinking. It really doesn’t seem too much different than a good pale ale. Nice Citrus hop flavor with a very subtle malt base.

Slightly hazy golden with a touch of orange. Thick bubbling white head. Toast and honey malt with some spicy floral pineapple hops. Slightly astringent bitterness hits rather hard, somewhat subdued malt in the background. Kinda thin body finishes with spicy citrus and a touch of alcohol warmth.

12oz bottle. Pours a light gold with a thick white head. Big malty caramel malt aroma with nice earthy hops. Very bitter hops, definitely aggressive, with a caramel malt balance. Finish dry and bitter.
