Very nice classical IPA, with an earthy, husky malt base and plenty of yummy resin and pine notes leading to a clingy bitterness on the finish. A good reason to walk across the bridge from New Belgium.

The Aromas are pine resin, mint and a little caramel malt. Flavors are somewhat like nose, someone in the tradition of British pale ales but too bitter. Decent body and carbonation but a little medicinal in the Finish. I've had a number of traditional British ipas in the UK and at home and that's what I based this judgment on. Great label though being a former railroader myself.

Sample at the taproom. Hazy amber color with a medium thin off-white head that recedes steadily to an outer ring. Stringy lacing. Aroma of herbal hops, roast malt and caramel. Medium body with flavors of grassy hops, earthy malt and fruit. The finish is mildly bitter with a grassy hop aftertaste. Decent overall.

Draft at the brewery tap during RBWG 2014 - Asheville. Pours hazy amber-gold with a creamy, white head. Bready, with notes of piney hops, ripe orange. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Nicely balanced on the finish, with more ripe citrus fruits, and orange in particular. Good IPA.

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7

Location: Draft at The Admiral in Asheville, 1/2/15

Aroma: The aroma is pine hops, floral notes, some light fruit, and a little caramel.
Appearance: A slightly cloudy orange color, with a white head, and some medium lace.
Flavor: The taste leans bitter, with a lightly sweet balancing flavor as well.
Palate: It is medium-plus bodied, with average carbonation, and a dry finish.
Overall Impression: This one actually kind of grew on me. At first taste I probably would have had it lower in the 3 range, but after a pint I settled here.

On tap at the brewery during RBWG 2014. Pours a clear amber with an off white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a combination of pine and dankness with an earthy grain backbone. Flavor has more earthy grain with a bit of grapefruit and musty pine.
