Pours cloudy orange/amber w/ 1" creamy off-white head. Cirus fruit, pine and grass aromas mingle with a malty sweetness. Rounded mouthfeel and med body, almost syrup. Despite hoppiness it finished sweeter than expected. Caramel malt, banana balances well w/ pine/grapefruit bitterness - alcohol is well hidden. Excellent IPA.

Outstanding aroma with some fresh fruit, caramel, and pine. There is a nice deal of grassy hops in the flavor, which remains pleasant throughout. My first encounter with this South Carolina brewery, and there is nothing to complain about here.

Green colored 12oz can pours with a deep gold body and a bit of haze supporting an off white head of foam. The aroma offers up slippery sweet citrus with some resiny grass notes. The taste is similar with a pleasing thick resiny bitter citrus notes backed up by some malt sweetness. It gets a little earthy with black tea leaves into the finish which only enhances the experience. Darn tasty IPA.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 RexTalionis (1430) - FINLAND - MAY 10, 2013
Draught. Pours copper in color with a small whitish head. Fresh orange peel and a bit of lemony notes as well in aroma. Some fresh cut grass as well. Mouthfeel is really smooth, not a sign of any harshness. A bit of grassy bitterness in taste accompanied by some lemony juicyness. A bit of bloodgrapefruit in aftertaste. Easy to drink and works well after a hard day of work, preferably outside on the terrace and with the sun shining.
