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.

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.

On tap at Beer Temple in Amsterdam. Pours a clear, deep gold colored body with an inch thick, dense and creamy, off-white head that dissipates slowly and leaves a nice lacing. Aroma is bitter kumquats and oranges with some sweet pink grapefruits and a medium sweet caramel malt backing. Some resins, pines, and florals as well. Flavor is similar. Bitter citrus peels with a light sweetness and a good amount of resins. Florals, pines, and a nice caramel backing. Finishes dry and moderately bitter with some resiny kumquats and a nice caramel note. Lengthy aftertaste following a smooth, medium body and a soft, moderate carbonation. Overall, a really nice IPA. Very unique citrus element and well balanced with a nice caramel backing. Great beer.
