Jul 20, 2008 Tasted at the Carolina Crew gathering, Greenville - thanks to OldStyleCubFan for sharing! Decent looking beer with the kind of pale orange body and fluffy head you’d expect for the style. I didn’t get much of the astringency in the nose that Ethan noted but the bready malts were fairly bland to me and the hops were very understated. Pretty anonymous beer, actually.

Jul 20, 2008 Shared at the Carolina Crew Tasting by Oldstylecubfan. Pours a copper orange with a one finger creamy orange head. The nose smells really astringent and bitter, really upront hops, a bit grainy, and lightly sweet. Taste is very bitter, sweet, has a cardboard/corn oxidation feel. Generally agreed upon to be not very good. Really waxy and biting palate.

Jul 17, 2008 Pours a clear amber with a small off white head that leaves nice lacing. Aroma is medium sweet, orange, floral, peach and grapefruit. Flavor is grapefruit, orange, floral and a nice caramel backbone. Light to medium body, sticky texture. I really liked this one, a tasty IPA that doesn’t have to be "over the top" to be good.

Quite a drinkable, mellow IPA. Well balanced, very fruity, not at all resinous or aggressive but more than enough hop flavor to qualify as a nice IPA. I thought it a was really enjoyable shift from the great west coast ones I’ve been drinking lately.
