I can not believe how highly rated this is!?!?!? Seemed a little thin and weak to me. Drinkable and widely available where I am.

My "go-to" beer. A staple here in Woodstock, GA. Good balance of sweetness/bitterness - very smooth IPA.

12 oz bottle. Pours a slightly cloudy yellow orange with a thick white long lasting head. It has an intense mostly grapefruit citrus hop aroma. It has a wonderful grapefruit citrus taste with a strong pine taste. Nice hop bitterness with out being overly bitter. This is a excellent beer and is very refreshing.

12 oz. bottle from Total Wine in Raleigh (North Hills). Hazy, dark orange pour with a thick, creamy off-white head. Clean hop aroma of pine, grapefruit, and a hint of soap. Nice, clean flavor. Citrus and floral hop taste. Some caramel sweetness. Nothing is overdone this is just an easy drinking, clean, nicely done IPA.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a golden-amber, almost orange, into the glass, with a nice 1-finger frothy cap that reduces to leaves generous soap lace. Very refreshing citrus-pine floral nose, with concentrations on roses as the brew warms to fruition (nice). The flavors are well-integrated, with some grapefruit notes, some rind/peel, and a nice pine hop finish. The mouthfeel is crisp and the texture is smooth with a medium body. This brew does have substance, but goes down so easily to make it very drinkable, and would do for a nice session IPA. Easy quaff!

This beer was a beautiful golden orange with a two inch solid white head which subsided slowly. The head left lacing on my glass and lasted until the last drop, nice and sticky. The smell was slightly piney with fruit aromas and was pretty strong. The taste followed the smell with some citrus, some bitterness ,and a little pine. The mouthfeel was the best part, it felt like a cask beer. This is the best IPA i have had that is under 6%. They really have a winner with this one. Yum!

UPDATED: JAN 16, 2010 This was my introduction to IPA’s so I probably have not given it the chance that some have. I think it was an ok beer. Not much to say one way or the other. Very middle of the road IPA.
I have re-rated this as it has become one of my favorite beers to drink lately. Once I got the taste for a good IPA, this beer has really been a good one.
