COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Our IPA. American styled, is a full bodied, copper ale with a backpack’s worth of hops. Dry hopped and dry to the palate, it exhibits wonderful malt flavor, dry palate and big hop finish. Worthy of our Beer City’s heritage.

Beer 40 Asheville trip. Pours a golden orange, nice head. Aroma caramel malts, citric hops. Flavor matches, with grapefruit on the finish. Sort of the big brother of the APA. Clean, nicely done.

Let me start as I knew this would be my 200 I was pumped for a great beer, served at the brewery. But here goes... From tap. Pours hazy golden. Aroma was stall and off. An off flavor of sour, dishwater and funk. Taste followed. Wife agreed. And I'm a huge IPA fan. Maybe dirty lines or tap? ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

maxwelldeux (2227) - Raleigh, North Carolina, USA - SEP 1, 2012
Draft in a flight at the brewpub. Poured a golden color with a smallish head. Aroma had a good level of hops to it, but it was well balanced to avoid the harshness of the hops. Not a bad IPA.

Shag (2442) - Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA - AUG 29, 2012
A golden color with a white head. The aroma contains tons of lemon with some pine. Flavor is very bitter with mostly lemons. Pine and lemons all day. Finish is bitter. Overall one dimensional but good for hopeheaads.

tap at lab 7/15/11 honey gold color with a barley white/ow head. a=orange, florals, gf and pale maltiness. the flavor is the same but it has added notes of necco candies, cornstarch, the same floral oddness of the marzen and some very faint pine. this is not so good...

blipp (4784) - Newark, New Jersey, USA - JAN 14, 2012
Draft. Pours orange with a white head. Flowery hoppy aroma with some light fruity notes. The flavor is relatively well balanced, with floral hops, light citrus, and lightly sweet malts. Not bad.

Braudog (5028) - Hampton, Virginia, USA - OCT 9, 2011
Draft at the brewpub. A shade lighter than the APA and a tad bit creamier. The hops are certainly assertive and up front, but a mellow backdrop leaves you wanting a little bit more. (#4308, 10/5/2011)

Draught at brewery. Nice pour. Malty with some hints of caramel. Not very hoppy. Slight sugar ending to the taste.
