A very decent APA. Drank from a bottle at the NAC in Columbia. Hoppy, orange in color, and crisp. Very nice for out on the balcony with some new friends.

Jun 22, 2009 From a 12 oz bottle - maybe this pale ale tasted so good because it was enjoyed while on vacation in the beautiful city of Charleston - aroma of citrus, malt, hops and pine. Taste was nice and hoppy (almost an IPA in my opinion) along with apricots, peach, pine and caramel sweetness. Lots of lacing. Very refreshing brew on a hot, humid day in S.C.

May 19, 2009 12oz bottle. I had a few of these at a friend’s wedding in Charleston last weekend; this current bottle is from Charleston Beer Exchange. Pours transparent amber, capped with a medium-sized off white head that fades gradually to a thin layer of bubbles. Aroma is primarily caramel, with notes of crystal malt, grapefruity hops, and some pepper. Flavor is bready and malty, with flowers, pine and grapefruit. Finish is a bit astringent.

May 17, 2009 Dark amber, little head. Malt dominates nose, lots of caramel and some dark fruits. Little hop aroma or flavor, malt dominates flavor as well. Lots of caramel, rather sweet, dark fruits. Strong hop bitterness kicks in, especially in the finish, very bitter, though little aroma. Interesting, sweet and rich, almost chewy pa.

Feb 9, 2009 Golden-amber. Fruity, sort of blueberryish aroma. Moderately bitter, with berries. It’s got a woody dryness, light caramel & breadcrust malts along with that. OK, none too exciting.

Jan 9, 2009 bottle from my sister and bro in law. thanks Ben and Dhari! Amber pour, small off white head. Aroma is very much full of malts and some sweet and slighty spicy hops. Flavor is mellow and smooth. Easy caramel matls and some hops make this pretty easy to drink.

Dec 5, 2008 On tap at 82 Queen in Charleston, SC, on 10/22/08. Amber in color. Light hoppy aroma. Taste of earthy grassy hops with some malt. Had notes of mineral water as well.

Sep 12, 2008 I had this with a grip of seafood on Hilton Head. It was fantastic. Good floral aroma, nice fluffy white head, hazy amber color. Taste was fruity and nice and bitter. It was very crisp and refreshing and went well with my meal, and if I were anywhere where I could buy it, I would buy it again!
