3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
12 oz bottle from Publix - Finally...a decent beer out of my make-your-own-six-pack. Appearance gets docked a bit because of a lack of a decent head, but the aroma is a nice floral/grassy hops mix. Tastes quite a bit like Drifter. Anyway, this is a nice beer. I’ll have another!
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Thanks to Kirkpjr for this brew.
I enjoyed pouring this brew into a Sam Adams glass an seeing a short lived one finger head that trailed of to a thin lace. The body of the brew was hazy amber in color. I guess maybe I have been drinking to many IPA’s from tap lately. I didn’t really get a ton of hoppiness coming from this brew. I got the typical citrus aroma with a lightly biter flavor. There was not much going on here in pronounced hop character. This one would make an awesome Pale Ale.
Sorry guys not my favorite offering from Sweetwater

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle courtesy of Craftbeerdesign (thanks Geoff) poured a hazy orange amber with a small lingering amber head. Aromas of tropical fruit, tangerine, biscuit, pink grapefruit, pine and light earthiness. Palate was light to medium bodied and smooth with a dry finish. Flavors of tangerine, pink grapefruit, light tropiucal fruit, light pine and light biscuit with a smooth dry lingering moderatly bitter finish.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Pours a deep copper color with a thick, creamy head that leaves a lot of lacing on the side of the glass. It has a wonderfully sweet, floral, perfume-like aroma. This floral hop character is well-balanced, however, by an abundant but light malt sweetness. The hop character is a welcome change from the citrus hop flavor that is so prevalent in many of the IPAs on the market. In addition, despite being an IPA, the bitterness is not overwhelming, making this a very easy-drinking selection.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Draft at Gene’s Haufbrau in Charleston. Pours a deep gold with a white head. Nose is fresh and citrusy. Some light floral, but the citrus is king. On taste, nice a bracing bitterness. More citrus and a dry finish. Enough sweetness to prop it up. Very good IPA.
