tagz (334), USA Jul 1, 2008 Updated: Oct 18, 20082007. bottle. solid ipa with a spicy hop profile. heavier on the aroma than bittering. light palate and little hint of the higher abv. unique and definitely worth trying.
2008. mmm. great balance between malt body and spicy citrus pine hop. lightly sweet. moderate bitter. well rounded, easy drinking, great flavor. well done. IPAaLLtHEwAY (136), La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA Jun 28, 2008 24oz bottle pours ambered yellow with a thick tan head and awesome lacing. Flavor is awesome, very genuine IPA smoother than some, less alcohol than others I enjoyed it mucho. very refreshing. biznizness (930), Mooresville, North Carolina, USA Jun 28, 2008 Love me a good IPA, and this one fits the bill. Got the big bottle from Total Wine and enjoyed this with the guys in Raleigh. I will probably grab a couple more. dchmela (1406), Orlando, Florida, USA Jun 26, 2008 Fresh 24oz bottle, pours out an orange amber with a thick fluffy white head. Big citrus floral hop aroma with a hint of spiciness, like they dry hopped it a lot. Taste is smooth malt, bitter hops and slightly chewy resinous from the hops. Leaves a long bitter finish. Not an outstanding ipa, but for the money, this is a really good value for a solid brew. lemasney (398), Trenton, New Jersey, USA Jun 24, 2008 ABV: 6.7 %

First Impression: A very nice IPA, if a bit commercial. Aroma is very flowery hops, dust and mold. Visuals are a beautiful red - copper body with a bright white head that is persistent with nice lacing. Taste is sweet with a bitter ending - very well done. Palate is crisp, dry, with a long bitter finish, but not very strong. Second Impression - an amazing value - a fantastic IPA for regular enjoyment. Delicious, and done in the true spirit of the craft.

Overall: 17 out of 20 kiefdog (1567), Tampa, Florida, USA Jun 23, 2008 24oz bottle from Racetrack Liquors (Tampa, FL). Pours an orange-amber color with a thick white head that settles slowly. Aroma is sour with notes of orange, lemon, wheat, and latex. Strange. Taste is bitter, hoppy, generally light bodied. Fairly unpleasant finish. Interesting, but only a periodic drinker. CelticBrew (676), The Crystal Coast, North Carolina, USA Jun 21, 2008 Pours from 24 oz fat boy, deep orangey amber, forming medium off white head. Lots of little bubbles give the beer a hazy look. Aroma of resiny citrus hops, wet forrest grass. Flavour of grassy hops, caramel rock candy with a slight peppery note. Bottom line; a superb IPA beer, easy drinking and clean and crisp. Would love to try an on tap version.
Bought at Priscellas in MHC, NC. Thanks DrBayern and Doboy for bringing it here to the crystal coast area! jimmack (1221), Nutley, New Jersey, USA Jun 19, 2008 24oz. bottle. Clear orange/amber color with a medium sized off white head. Citrus hop aroma with some resiny pine and a bit of caramel. Flavor of pine, light grapefruit, doughy malts. Very crisp and refreshing.
