True to it’s roots, this American IPA delivers on the floral, hoppy notes that made Cottonwood a Boone favorite. 100% malted barley and copious amounts of Cascade, Magnum, and Chinook hops do the trick, artfully brewed by Foothills

Bottle. Aroma, nice spicy, hoppy smell. Taste, actually one of the better IPAs I have had nice flavor. Not overly bitter. Recommended.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Total Wine in Richmond poured into a pint glass, 7/6/09
Aroma: Mostly earthy hops, a bit of grapefruit, and some light caramel as well
Appearance: Dark amber-like color, lots of sediment floating in this beer, some minor lacing on the glass, a nice looking beer
Flavor: I taste a nice amount of hops here, some light grapefruit sweetness in the finish
Palate: A nice body on this one, it has a nice flow
Overall Impression: A good brew, wasn't particularly excited by the nose, but the taste was nice, and it was a really nice looking beer with an above average palate.

Bottle thanks to Suttree. Pours with a large, rocky, off-white head. Slightly hazed amber body. Light floral hops (some spice and grapefruit). Lots of caramel malt covering up the hops. Light cardboard towards the end. Taste is bitter, a bit unbalanced, finishing bitter with some cardboard. Fizzy water like mouthfeel. Slightly metalic in the finish. Not great.

Sampled from draft at the Carolina Beer Company in the Charlotte airport during a layover at 9am in the morning. Not much hop aroma, just clean. Iced tea color with a slight haze. Thin creamy head. Typical IPA or stronger APA flavors and finish. Barely any carbonation can be detected. Probably a little milder on the bitter side when compared to other high hopped IPAas I’ve had. Lingering medicinal bitter finish. Pretty much on style.

12oz bottle courtesy of Degarth. Pours with just a hint of haziness, although I’m struggling to see Quake1028 though it. The body haze sort of an orange to rust look with some gold on the edges with off white head and weak spotty lacing. The aroma started initially with an unfortunate metal note. I then get kettle caramelization and molasses mixed together with some lightly roasted malt sweetness. The hop flavor is rather weak to start with maybe some faint pine, grapefruit bitterness. It is tough to pick up. Better check the label again, wow, this is an IPA? Just timid vague bitterness to go along with lightly roasted malts that just ride to the finish. Not really an IPA taste from my point of view.

12 oz. bottle from Suttree. H0207 on neck. Pour is mostly orange with some slight haze, carbonation bubbles and a nice 1 inch off white head. Aroma of flowery hops and some malt. Body is a bit thin, hop presence light to start (citrus and pine for what is there) malt in the middle, and a decent hop bitter finish. Perhaps this had some age, but the hops were a bit too muted for an IPA. Decent ale, however.

Caramel and oak on the nose, but a little like wet dog as well. Cloudy amber color with a lasting thin yellow head, fairly uniform glass coating. Light woody flavor. Excellent hop finish.
