hiphopanonymous	4.4 Cahaba Seal Your Face I've enjoyed most Cahaba brews but this is their best IPA offering. For a DIPA it's not boozy at all. Aroma is soft and enticing. Nice golden haze. Its a great, balanced DIPA. No alc/vol on can but after my 1st sip, I didn't care. I'm not a pro at what anything tastes like, but this is a must if you find it and like hazy, juicy. Get it.

tfontana	3.2 Cahaba Oka Uba IPA Can pour into shaker pint glass. Appearance is hazy honey brown, light sparkle, finger-width fizzy off-white head with decent retention and no lacing. Aroma is lemon-citrus, candied sugar, mild earthy resin and malt backbone. Taste is moderate candied sugar balanced (competing?) with citrus and earthy resin, mild caramel. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with thin, frothy texture, soft carbonation and more sweet than bitter finish. Overall, not oppressively bitter to be sure but not juicy sweet like a NEIPA. Kind of blazing its own trail, which is nice, but it only works OK. Friday, May 4, 2018
