3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
A rock solid IPA, with hops and citrus in the aroma, and a hoppy, citrusy, floral, spicy taste and finish. Well done.

Slightly hazed orange pour. Evergreen and citrus hops combined on the nose. Semi-sweet malt a very hard bitter finish. Creamy mouthfeel and medium/full bodied. Very nice beer.

NC on tap-pours a white head and hazy gold/orange color. Aroma is resin/citrus hops, some medium malt. Taste is sweet medium malt-caramel, resin/citrus hops-somewhat pungeant. Nicely balanced.

Draft @ the brew pub: Hazy light copper w/ a short lived white head; laces well. I blame the glass. Herbal hop aroma w/a lightly toasted malt and caramel; moderate fruitiness, and lightly grassy as it warms. Well balanced & lightly bitter, bready malt w/ hints of toasted malt; hop flavor in the finish. Fruitiness light compared to aroma. Lingering bitterness w/ a malt & hop flavored aftertaste. Low carbonation, medium body w/ a dry m/f. This is probably the most "to style" beer @ Liberty so far. Nice balance of hops & malt, but not quite as bitter as an IPA should be.

Growler< thank you in laws! Golden orange< small white head. Great piney aroma, love it. Good taste, piney up front, a bit of sweet malt, some alcohol and more pine in finish. Solid session ipa.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Tap at the High Point brewpub on 2/3/08: Pours a transparent dark golden bronze with a well-lacing white head. Aroma of lightly sweet toasty pale malts and a touch of piny hops. Body starts fairly full with a nice malty sweetness balanced with fresh resiny bittering hops before a crisp bittersweet finish. A decent IPA and quite drinkable.

Very very good, creamy, nice head, separated into thirds, gorgeous. Hoppy and tasty, good beer to nurse.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 15/20
Tap at Liberty Steakhouse. Pours out a slightly cloudy light copper color with a two finger off white head. Aroma is of citrus and light floral hops, slight malts in there also. Taste is a bit on the watery side, but is well put together, citrus hops, sweet malts, and a slight bready biscuit note with a dry hop finish. Probably the best of the 4 I had while I was there.
