Very much a sessionable IPA, although go easy witht the ABV. The obligatory pine hops were there, but this is a very smooth beer..."quaffable" for want of a better term nqualls (1429), Nashville, Tennessee, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 25, 2008 I would agree with others who’ve called this beer balanced. This is a really easy-drinking IPA that I could probably drink all night. I love variety and beers that are extreme, but I’d buy a six-pack of this to drink at a party or wherever...there’s been a lot of talk about "session" beers on this site, and I’d nominate this one.
Pours an amber body with good head. Aroma is distinctly hoppy, but not over the top. There is some light sweetness and citrus notes. Flavor is hoppy with a significant malt backbone. Mouthfeel is crisp and clean. Very drinkable, but not too unusual or exciting. Still good though.
I’d buy this again and recommend it. SurlySober left this at my house, and I have no idea where he got it. doboy (177), Morehead City, North Carolina, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 25, 2008 At a tasting at Priscillas in Morehead City, NC. Balanced. That was the word for this fine IPA. Poured a golden yellow with a good head. The aroma is floral with the hops. Smell is strong, but the taste is balanced, not over the top. Bittering on the back end is excellent. natejgood (189), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 24, 2008 Pours a hazy, medium golden color with a decent head that builds from the bottom. Has an aroma of crisp hops with hints of flowers and citrus. This beer has a clean, hoppy flavor, but the hops aren’t overpowering. It definitely leaves a bit of a bitter taste on the edges of the tongue, but not in a bad way.
