Gold pour with a small white head. Subtle hop nose, vaguely citrusy. Hoppy flavor with some malt backing it up. An okay IPA overall, but really not remarkable.

Bottle. Not my favorite Thomas Creek. Others much better. Light gold color. Taste was hoppy, but in a pleasant way. Not real bitter. Get for a time or two.

Another I tasted at the Classis City brew fest. I didn’t write much on the thomas creek selections, but this one was the most lengthy of them all - "bitter but bland". I guess that sums it up.

On tap at the Durham WBF. Clear gold with a white head. Nice lace. Citrusy and earthy with a mild caramel sweetness. Medium-full bodied. Good.

On tap at WBF in Durham, NC. This is a nice, yet simple, american ipa. Hops are much more subdued than I like in both the nose and flavor. Refreshing, but not bursting with flavor.
