Florence, South Carolina, Red Bone Alley Restaurant, 12 oz bottle. Medium copper pour, little to no head - slight white lacing though. Odd, artificial aroma - that is not unpleasant - reminds me of some kind of jelly-like candy you get around Christmas for a fund raiser. Flavor is muddled and artificial and has hints of apricots and peaches and a touch of citrus - sticky - in an artificial way. Thick enough. Only thing the bartender could find that was "local" when I asked - took him a while to find it and was not sure what to charge me for it - he guessed at $1.50. Worth that - this one has suffered a bit from shelf life me thinks - rating gives it the benefit of the doubt. Will rerate upon encountering again.

Jul 21, 2008 Bottle courtesy of a traveling colleague. The beer pours a clear copper color with a medium off-white head that dissipates steadily. Small patches of lace on the glass. The aroma is hoppy with a bit of citrus in the background. Medium-bodied and moderately bitter with a somewhat astringent hops flavor, along with light citrus and malt behind it. The finish is hoppy and does not linger long. Not a bad beer, although I wish I could have done a little better for my first brew from SC.

Jun 16, 2008 Received one in a trade with JB and my brother brought one back from Myrtle Beach for me that someone left in his fridge. I had it at a party and it was not really cold. Aroma of hops, deep flavor of hops. Too many hops for me.

May 23, 2008 On tap in South Carolina. Amberish in color with a decent beige head. Taste has a crisp hop character. Decent pale ale. Light hoppy smell with a good balance of some malts.
