Sep 29, 2008 Updated: Nov 21, 2009A lot softer than I was expecting. 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

Sep 26, 2008 slightly hazy orange hued gold under a medium sized creamy white head. good lacing. a very sharp looking beer. hoppy(peach, apricot, pear, pine) scented with sweet pale malt. flavor is perfectly malted to match the beers hop content. pine, peach, white grape blend with a bready malt. malty enough for balance but still letting the hops take the stage. medium bodied. a real quality ipa.

Sep 26, 2008 Nice orange color. Medium head. Great pine hop aroma. Big hop taste. Alcohol is well hidden. Just a great example of an APA/IPA. Great beer. Would definitely buy again, and again....

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.

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.

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.
