4.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
Excellent nose on this one. Very drinkable. It's easy on the ABV, too! Great brew out of Athens. Poured from a keg at Pour House, Tampa.

Had this on tap. Decent amount of head, smells somewhat hoppy but not really pronounced. Earthy hop taste.
4.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Pours light gold with a large white head. Smells hoppy, citrus and flowers, and of mild caramel. Taste is bitter and floral with hints of sweetness. Light-to-medium bodied with a prickly texture and fair mouth-carbonation, Terrapin Easy Rider finishes with floral bitterness.
4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
UPDATED: JUL 29, 2012 Aroma is quite hoppy with a fruity undertone, a mixture of apple and sour orange - more like an IPA than an amber ale. It pours a beautiful clear amber with a thick and fine-bubbled off-white head that leaves generous lacing. Malty flavor has a strong hoppy overtone, just a little bitterness, and hints of sour orange, grass and yeast. Texture has average body but plenty of fizz, leaving a nice tingly and hoppy finish that has a touch of yeast. Yes, definitely an enjoyable one. Better on-tap than from a bottle!
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Top notch. Caramel and bready tones blend with grapefuit hop aromas. Yellowish gold with a white head. Bitter with a balance of biscuit sweetness. Medium bodied with a nice hop crispness and a bitter finish.

very clear pour with a medium amber color. nice head. hoppy aroma in the bottle. Taste is good, but could have more malt flavor. it’s ok but not a top notch beer.

On tap at Porter Beer Bar. Pours a clear gold with a light amber hue with a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges and laces nicely. Aroma has a good amount of grapefruit with a hint of dankness that is backed by a good amount of sweet grains and light hay note. Flavor begins with a nice grassy and light grapefruit hoppy note that mellows slightly to allow a bit of a grain finish to come through. Works quite nicely and is very drinkable.
3.9 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
The attractive amber colored body looked clear, with visible streamers of gentle carbonation feeding a one finger thick head. The smell was very hoppy for the style, with lots of grapefruit and orange peel on the nose. The taste followed the trend set by the smell, with a mineralized hoppy taste. There was not much of a malt presence here, which made the mouthfeel quite dry. Not much of an aftertaste either. Typical APA for the most part, and easy to drink like the rest of them.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Floral aroma of lillies, lemon zest. Hazy amber, thin head. Well hopped, floral flavor. Honey wheat bread finish. Quaffable, but hoppy. Interesting combination of hops that works. Should be classed an APA, IMHO.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Ar: Very zesty, red grapefruit rind - spicy and minerally.
Ap: Clear deep gold - medium off-white head with excellent retention and a thick foamy cap of foam.
T: Lightly sweet and grainy up front - grapefruit rind and toasty malt - then very bready, medium-high bitterness - finish is malty with a firm mineral character.
P: Medium-light body with high carbonation - finish is dry.
O: Superb session ale - bright hop flavor and robust, yet not overwhelming, malt character.
