This mammoth IPA is defined by generous quantities of juicy American hops. The extensive dry hopping process contributes to its bright and flavorful character. This beer is unfiltered to leave all the natural flavors intact and bottle conditioned to stay super fresh.

Bottle. Beer of the month club. Hazy deep golden-orange color with a medium white head. Great hoppy aroma of flowers, tropical fruits and citrus. Flavor has light malt sweetness and nice fruity hoppiness. Finishes with pleasant floral and citric bitterness.Medium-bodied. A tasty IPA, refreshing and quaffable.

Pour is a clear orange with a large white head. Aroma is a peppery/pine hop with some caramel malt. Flavor is the same, a decent earthy pine hop followed by a decent malty backbone. Finish leaves a nice hoppy pine resin on the tounge. A solid IPA.

Poured up on tap with clear copper body and thin white head. The aroma offers up a pleasing load of malt sweetened citrus hops that have sweet tangelo juice mixing with bitter smelling grapefruit. Nice. OK, I havent had an IPA in a month and this ia tasting oh so good. The taste has chewy yummy malt sweetened citrus hops that pulsate with both flavor hops and bitter hops. Behind those notes I get a bit of diacetyl that is mild enough to not really take away from the experience. This is really hitting the spot right now but based on the taste I need to knock a tenth or so due to the diacetyl

Received in trade from GPHarris, thanks for the opportunity! Best enjoyed by 9/23/11 Pours a slightly cloudy yellow amber color with a stingy white head that dissipates quickly. Smells of grapefruit and lemons mostly. Pine and resin play a role here, but this one is all about the citrus. Malt, yeah I guess there’s some in there. If I close my eyes and take a deep breath I can find hints of bread and maybe some hay. Taste is lemon and grapefruity with surprisingly a little bready grainy malt in there as well. Fairly dry finish with a bitter lemony aftertaste. Medium to thin body, moderated level of carbonation with a resinous watery mouthfeel. Decent light IPA that I could see going down quite easily on a hot summer day.

12 oz. bottle. Pours bright orange with a foamy beige head. The aroma is intense resin, pine and floral hops, with some hay and bread notes. The flavor is very bitter and well balanced up front, with the bitterness dominating the finish. The palate is medium to heavy, sticky, acidic and astringent. The aftertaste is long, very bitter and acidic. Overall, this is a very well made IPA, with powerful hops and just enough malt backbone to make it drinkable.

Free sample on drAft at the Atlanta airport. An unremarkable ipa with some pine notes in the aroma and flavor bit not much else.

Draft. Hazy, amber body. Frothy, off-white head, mostly diminishing. Floral aroma with notes of resin, grapefruit, cookie, toasted grain and dough. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It fiinishes lightly sweet and moderately bitter. Medium body, smooth texture and lively carbonation. Liked the balance in the aroma between the hops and malts, but the flavor had too much raw hops flavor.

Dunkler und aromatischer Hopfenantrunk, blumig. Wenig süß, die Hopfigkeit wird kurz scharf und zeigt in diesem Intervall deutliche Getreidenoten. Das Bier pendelt sich dann blumig und zitronig ein, die dunklen Getreidenoten zeigen sich dabei regelmäßig. Wunderbar süffiges IPA! 11/12/11/12/8/12
