2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20Sorta strange. Really harshly bitter, but without a pleasant hop citrus brightness. Mostly pine in the aroma, no sweet backbone to balance a very earthy dry mouthfeel.

Growler fill - thanks Pop! Pours a slightly unclear amber/orange with bubbly off white head. Smell is citrus, earthy, caramel malts. Taste is malt forward, some citrus, grass.

I thought this was an amber on first sip. Pours amber with a white head. An English IPA with a malty start and a slightly peppery finish.

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Hazy light gold. Hay and earth backing up resin-forward hops. Smells balanced. Tastes balanced too, with the resin taking the strongest presence an hanging around while it sweetens a bit into the palate. Missing the crispness, and that hurts the palate - it gets real one-dimensional real quick. It’s the better side of a beer, relying on the simplicity of efficient hops and more than satisfactory balance.

On cask and delicious. Tempting aroma and cloudy yellow pour with a smooth taste and growing mouthfeel.

From a 12 oz bottle shared Avon NC. Pours a hazy light orange with a white head. Grassy aroma and flavor with some citrus hints. Mild bitter finish.

bottle. cloudy orange with small head. bitter hops, mild malt but otherwise light on flavor. this could be a lot better.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: MAY 12, 2013 Bottle, dajio, Ocracoke. a nice suprise- haven’t been a huge fan of this brewery so far. Pours a light copper with a thin white somewhat wimpy-didn’t quite come to the party- head. taste is all caramel and sweet at first followed by a decent hoppiness. something different in the hops here- good and makes one ponder. only issue with this one is the finish- not quite balanced- a bit bitter at the end. without the bitterness would have rated in the 4 range. good ipa- will have again.
May 12/ 13. More bitter than I remember- served slightly warmer and bitterness in the first taste and on the finish. definitely prefer the hoppyum on tap at dajio to this offering. probably better paired with something assertive in the food department.

Cloudy amber. Earthy hops, not as strong as a lot of IPAs. Decent enough, but I usually like a little more of a kick with an IPA.

Nice bitterness and fairly smooth. Lots of sediment in this IPA. Definitely will get again.
