On tap at P&P Charleston. Clear golden with small white head. Aroma is nice herbal/formal hops, medium body, lower carbonation, soapy texture, and good lacing. Taste is floral hop, herbal hops, and bitter hops.

Blindfold me and I’d swear it was a pint of cat pee. Big vegetal hop front, almost too green, followed by hits of green peppers and the tiniest snippet of mint. Slides into a sweet middle before smashing you upside the head with crazy hop bitterness. Weed and pine on the fade, green as green can be.

Bottle. Smell is bright ipa, no BO here. First taste is liquor laced candy with hop bitterness. Quite different than other ubiquitous IPA. Warming sensations in the tummy halfway thru. Strong bitter in yer face bitter hop bite settles in near the end. I think I’m chewing on fresh pine sap soaked green grapefruit rinds. Somebody get me a cold cheap pale lager for a chaser, heheh. If you like this style, reverse my numbers, not an IPA fan but this stuff is terribly on style without the mouth coating dullness and mild BO. Whewwie.

Sampled from the tap at Churchkey. Pours a clear gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has dank pine with some earthy onion and a sweet grain backbone. Flavor has earthy onion, dank pine and grass with a light bread note.

Pour is a hazy golden with a large white head. Aroma is a nice pine and peppery hop. Flavor is bitter but fruity hops with a dry malt base. This probably has some age on it so this could have scored higher but as it sits is is firmly in the decent category.

Bomber from markdown bin. Date not decipherable but I assume it’s well past peak freshness. Standard pint glass. A: 1" heat atop medium gold body. Light amount of bubbles and nice lacing left. S: Light citrus scent with strong malty background. Light overall but beer is very cold. Something lightly musty also detected and it is not altogether pleasant. T: Sour citrus bitterness is the main driving force. Slight toastiness follows. FInishes with nice dry bitterness. Slight booziness to me but I normally drink much lighter brews. M: Crisp and clean with a slight oiliness. Lighter overall than expected. O: Pretty good I guess but can’t say I’m terribly impressed. As noted, this bottle is likely quite old so this warrants another review to be fair.

Sample at Thirsty Monk. Pours a clear golden color with a medium thick white head that diminishes gradually. Strings of lacing on the glass. Floral hops, fruit and malt in the nose. Medium body with flavors of herbal hops, grapefruit and malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a hoppy aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Bottle 65 cl. Pours golden with a slight haze and a dense and lacing white head with good retention. Spicy, almost gingery aroma. Rich, malty body, soft on the palate with the rough and very bitter hops coming out rather late. It’s a very bitter beer indeed and in a fresher state the hops would probably have been a lot crisper. But still a solid IPA. 290715
