They say Charleston is one of the best cities in the world, so what better place to find our favorite IPA? Named after the street that Palmetto has called home since the beginning, Huger Street IPA is our downtown Charleston version of an India Pale Ale. Significant dry-hopping contributes to the aroma and flavor of familiar citrus, while caramel malts and white wheat keep things balanced with a subtle, simple sweetness the likes of which you can only find in the South. It may seem just as easy-drinking and polite as you’d expect a Charleston beer to be, but don’t turn your back on it – it’s a surprise heavy-hitter. Go ahead and have a sip, we insist. Just make sure you pronounce it like a local – say it with us – hue-gee.

Slightly hazy copper and bright bronze coloured body with a fairly thin, fast-dying tan head, only a centimetre tall. Aroma of rich malt and metals, some alcohol and a pungent kick of astringent notes with no real hops noticeable and only a dash of fruits - not much in here aside from the alcohol and rich malts. Medium-bodied; Very strong malty flavour with a lot of cardboard, alcohol, bitterness and pungency from some deeper fruits like apricots and nectarines, but some sweetness is around at least near the end to break the bitterness. Aftertaste is deep and assertive with alcohol and malt the strongest flavours. Overall, a decent IPA at best with some moderate bitterness, but not from the hops - from the malt and alcohol, and more malt than expected, but a decent beer. Definitely not worth picking up when there are other options, especially in the style. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Grape Vine in Form Mill, South Carolina on 21-August-2017 after watching the Eclipse for US$1,70 sampled at home in Washington on 31-August-2017, just ten days later.

Decent IPA, super-mellow with a deep, toasty biscuit malt base topped by modest citric hops and a easygoing, mildly bitter finish. Sweeter than expected, and the floral notes outweigh any strong Citra accents, but easy to drink and not without its charm.

12oz bottle pours a hazy orange with some hazy, white head. Nose is pithy, grass, some stale grist. Flavor of orange rind, herbs, stale biscuit. Abrasive finish.
