Great IPA. Almost too hoppy at first, but you get used to it. Comparable to dogfish head. ignore the ugly label and drink up! Tastes like home.

2.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
UPDATED: SEP 9, 2007 Pours a dramatically opaque orange with chunks of yeast stirred up in the brew. Catty hops on the nose and tongue, little malt sweetness to balance them out. Seriously, tone it down a little. Citrus hops dominate every step of this beer. I like hops as much as the next imbiber, but really, balance is nice too.

UPDATED: NOV 2, 2007 Pours orange with white head. Aroma is of sweet hops and some citrus. Mouth is somewhat thin with a decent amount of carbonation. Very refreshing. Flavor is full of malt, hops, spice and finishes sweet. A very good IPA.

Bottle. (trade with Papsoe) Clear, golden-copper color with a beige head. Pine, hops and tropical fruits in the aroma. The flavor is quite bitter and fruity, with pine and tropical fruits, the latter dominating the fruit-part. Full body. Very piney finish with a distinct bitterness. I find it a bit on the hoppy side, but it is a nice beer. (070608)

Thanks aracauna. Copper pour, small white head. Aroma of pine and malts. Flavor is caramel malts mostly, pine hops, with citrus hops in the background and some grapefruit. Easy drinking IPA but nothing special and could use more hops in the aroma and flavor additions.

Pours out a hazy copper color with big white head. Great big aroma of hops, pine and grapefruit. Taste has some of the citrus, but very smooth, not overpowering at all. This beer is one of the absolute joys of going to Georgia. Sweetwater has many great beers, but if you want to try one to get you hooked, this is the one.

The Fourth of July. The one day in July you absolutely have to go out and let loose in an uncontained expression of American freedom, fun, and perhaps even a little licentiousness.
Yes sir.
Hm.
Appearance: Pours a hazy amber-colored body with a small, white head.
Smell: The aroma is showing of juicy, ripe grapefruits, with only a trace amount of dough in the background.
Taste: Faint toasty caramel malt sweetness before the grapefruit plunge and piney hop character that creeps into the long finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Moderate carbonation.
Drinkability: Definitely one of Sweetwater’s better beers!
