Medium amber color - thin head. Aroma is hoppy - notes of pine, grapefruit and a hint of orange. Smooth body, flavor is moderatley hoppy, sort of tingly on the palate. Also adds a note of sugray sweetness that doesn’t fully blend well with the hops. Not bad, but not great.

Jul 11, 2008 12oz via GAManiac. Thanks, Pours orange with a 1 finger tan head. Nose is sweet and light, could use a bit of warming probably. Taste is sweet, with a mild hop flavor. This is decent, but lacks the oomph I like in ipas, that said its also drinkable.

Jul 8, 2008 Bottle, thanks to ericandersnavy. Has a very nice amber color with beige head. Aroma is just hoppy, very nice. Flavor is semi-sweet with a nice hop bitterness. Has a light to medium mouthfeel with medium carbonation. Overall, a very good drinkable IPA.

Jul 5, 2008 On draft at the Sweetwater Taphouse in the Atlanta International Airport. Amber pour with thin light-tan head. The aroma reminds me of Troegs nugget nectar, with a slight ’old foot cheese’ quality. Pleasant pine hop flavor was enjoyable. A bit cloying on the palate.

Jul 2, 2008 Greal looking IPA, bronze with a white head. The Appearance is everthing you would like to see in a IPA... Taste....uhh. I don’t always know with the sweetwater. Atlanta water might be poisoning the great taste. Overall good IPA but not my fave and Im an IPA drinker.
