12 ounce bottle courtesy of markwise. Pours a bruised peach color with a solid ecru head. Aroma is fruity and malty, pineapple and grapefruit at the fore with canned peaches and cornbread. Flavor is also pretty fruity, with the peaches coming on a little stronger alongside the emergence of crystal malt. Somewhat lacking in bitterness. A pretty decent beer, but one that might be better off calling itself a pale ale.

Pours a clear light amber color with a medium white head. Aroma has mild orange, peach, and mango. Flavor has some caramel and earthy malt notes, a bit of stonefruits, and bitter hops. Mouthfeel is on the lighter side and the finish is dry, earthy, and bitter with tea notes.

Draft at the airport of Atlanta. Red colored beer with a creamy head. Hoppy aroma and taste. Citrus, grapefruit but also a bit herbal and caramel notes. Not a massive bitter one but very drinkable.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20 KajII (340) - Macon, North Carolina, USA - JAN 29, 2012
Bottle. The pour was a medium hazy amber with an average sized (1-2 finger) white frothy head that had awesome longevity, lasting throughout thus producing some really excellent sticky sheets of lace.
The aroma was a little mild with a citrus hop, a grain malt and a soapy yeast with light notes of caramel and citrus (grapefruit).
The taste was not as strong as I expected it to be, but had a mild maltiness and a hint of caramel early on and then became slightly bitter with a mild citrus note at the end. The flavor lasted an average duration after the swallow with the taste of hops growing slightly as time went on.
Mouthfeel was light in body and had a dry texture with a mild carbonation.
Overall a very light hopped IPA with the complexity kept to a minimum. That being said it was nice and refreshing and had a great drinkability.

Poured a nice clear orange amber hue with a white head that faded away quickly. Aroma had mild caramel malts and some biscuit malts. Followed by a lot of hops. Mostly pine and floral but a slight citrus note too. Flavor really showcased the floral hops which were great. Pine hops and a lemony finish rounded it out. Not much in the way of malts to this one. Nice and dry in the finish.

Good IPA but not great. Golden orange with little carbonation and head. Floral aroma. Flowery taste as well but definitely bitter than most.
