Jade. Exotic jewel of the orient. Now a gem of an IPA. Bold, citrusy Pacific Jade hops lend striking tropical fruit notes and a hint of peppery finish to this easy-drinking IPA. Dry hop additions of Chinook and Citra add heady aroma and bold flavor. A special beer to charm the hop lover in you. Go ahead. Get Jaded.

Kind of an average appearance but really good reefer like aroma and flavor hop characteristics. Barely dry with a good bitter finish.

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.

Bottle from Market Street Wine Shop, Uptown. Pours mostly clear golden with a huge white head. Aroma of dust, toasted bread, light citrus. Flavor is lemon peel, burnt toast, vegetation like mad - unriped, green vegetation, cardboard. Jesus, this is a 97% top beer? Good god. Either my taste buds are way off or everyone else is insane (I think my taste buds are on the mark, btw).

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.
