On tap at Top of the Hill. Golden colored with a citrusy aroma. The taste was full of hop, but felt very thin - there was virutally no malt there to provide any balance. I have to say I was disappointed with this one.

Sep 1, 2008 Can thanks to OldStyleCubFan. Smells good looks great but kinda watery for my taste. Poured a nice amber color with off white head, some lacing. Arom a of floral hops and malt. Taste weak, somewhat like a beer on college campuses that can be bindged. Watery finish. Interesting can, go Tar Heels!

Aug 4, 2008 Courtesy of Gillard. The can pours clear copper with thin off white head. The aroma is vegetable notes of dry potato skin, dry broccoli spires and carrots fresh from the ground. Hmm. I also get notes of spicy earthy hops and a nutty maltiness. The taste is earthy with streaks of bitter pine and broccoli notes. I guess this is what IPA is like hopped up on earthy varieties. I may need some time to adjust get used to this take on the style.

Jul 27, 2008 Can courtesy of Gillard. Pours a clear amber with a small off-white head. Aroma of floral hops, sweet malt, and caramel. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium mouthfeel with a moderate amount of bitterness. Good.

Jul 6, 2008 Top of the Hill’s signature beer in my opinion. Pours a copper color with a large head. Aromas of molasses and pecans. Flavor and aftertaste is only slightly bitter for an IPA, which I like. Good stuff.
