Comes out of the tap a somewhat hazy honey golden with a thick, fine-bubbled ivory head. Aroma is not strong but quite hoppy with a citrus undertone. Flavor is much better than what the aroma promises - seriously hoppy yet not too bitter, more evergreen than woody, with citrus and, yes, mango notes. Texture has good firmness and a strong fizz, and boldly hoppy finish adds to the delight. A worthy brew, recommended to all IPA fans.

pours a cloudy dark golden with a small white head, and great lacing. smell is of earth, pine, citrus, hops, and some fruit. taste is buttery, lots of hops, citrus, nice malt backing, and fruits. ends bitter and reminds me somewhat of a tripel.

Draft at Flying Saucer Memphis. Hazy light gold. Cold. Mild nose. Taste is very bitter with some moderate hoppiness. Not much floral or piney flavors and a hint of honey. Average.

Tap. Pours clear dark gold with a small, fizzy white head, short retention with light lacing. Aroma is fruity esters, citrus, pine, and spicy hops with biscuit malt. Flavor is heavy hops and bitterness, supporting malt, fruity esters and a dry finish. Medium body and carbonation.

UPDATED: DEC 4, 2012 On tap at Flying Saucer. Poured golden yellow with a small head. Smells of pine, outdoors. Good hop, pine aroma. Immediate hop taste, with citrus. Good beer by Lazy Magnolia. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

This poured a golden color with a faint white head. Aroma contains pine and lemons. Flavor is bitch smakin bitter. Someone let a hop head loose in mississippi mercy. This one is not for beginners. Pine and more pine. Lemons and orange peels all day. Balance is not the goal here and I love it.

If you really like rich hoppy beers, this one is great!! Fruity, rich aroma with a medium golden color. Cold on draft - very satisfying taste.

Draft at the Green Beetle in Memphis. WTF.....it is in Memphis, Birmingham, Jackson........everywhere BUT N. Mississippi. Pours a light gold with a a finger cream head that seems to last a good while. Aroma is slight and sweet, honeyed fruits. Flavor starts sweet and then the hops kick in with good bitterness and an easy finish.

Maybe it was because I got the last bit before the keg kicked but this was merely an average IPA. Still flavorful and rich it may be that I am just used to having more options available. You won’t go wrong if you try it as it is on par with the Saint Arnolds and an improvement over the other local breweries.

Aroma / Appearance - A coppery orange body glows with the lightness of a well polished doorknob. Mostly transparent the head holds it down well. The nose is hoppy but doesn’t bite as I expected it to. Instead it is more like the smell of a beehive sheltered within a grove of flowers.

Flavor / Palate - Soft and easy on the palate this has evident hops but is not aggressive. Rather than an overhopped bitter approach this sneaks up on you. I suspect it would have grown on me even more if I’d gotten more than four ounces but at least that was left. Overall this is a good local for the southern states not named Florida but just did not appeal to me.

Coppery orange, decent sized white head. Smells cirusy, grainy, and some caramel malt. Crisp. woody hops in the finish. Sampled at the 2012 East Nashville Beer Festival.
