Draft at the source. Clear gold, white head. Caramel, melon, citrus, pine. Good.

Sample at the brewpub. Clear copper color with a medium thin bone white head that dissipates quickly to an outer ring. Short strings of lace. Aroma of fruit, hops and malt. Medium body with flavors of earthy hops, citrus and grainy malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a short fruity hop aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

Refrigerated 12 oz. brown bottle from BVery, poured into an English pint. Slightly hazy orange with small/medium beige head. Aroma is herbal hops, medium body, medium/light body, and some small-bubble lacing. Taste is caramel malt, bread, and some herbal hops. Fresher would probably bump this up a couple notches.

On draft at the GABF in 2013. Pours a clear copper with an off white head. Grassy aroma and flavors. Moderately bitter finish.

Wowzers, I finally finally get to try this. It has been on my ‘wants’ list for years. Poured up on tap at GABF 2012 with a nice clear gold body that supports a light tan head. The mild aroma offers up snippets of spicy hops, a touch of grapefruit and then just a hint of sweet malts. The taste has a nice bitterness that is mostly grapefruit and orange like citrus hops and then to midway and into the finish a sliver of malt sweetened citrus hop flavor comes to the surface to round this out with a touch of balance. This is a pretty darn tasty IPA.

Bottle from a trade with Pawola22. Pours hazy amber color with off white head. Aromas of caramel and citrus. Caramel and toasted malt flavors with some pine and citrus. Medium body with average carbonation. Thanks Brian.

Bottle thanks to Pawola22. Pours caramel amber. Off white head. Nose/taste of toasted grain, musky pineapple and caramel malt. Lighter bodied.

Draft. Clear amber color, small white head, fair lacing. Aroma of black pepper and caramel. Taste has fruit and caramel. Not bad.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of malt, spices, and hops. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel, cloves, and malt, leading to a dry and bitter finish.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Colonial Wine and Spirits, 6/1/11

Aroma: The nose has some orange, grapefruit, and caramel notes to it
Appearance: Pours a caramel-brown color with a lasting beige head, good lacing
Flavor: The taste is reasonably sweet up-front with a nice bitter hop finish to it
Palate: Medium (plus) body, a creamy mouthfeel that's a touch metalic, and a long lasting, dry finish
Overall Impression: I'm finally "enjoying" my first beer from Arkansas, and since I'm going to be spending entirely too much time in Little Rock in the near future, this surely won't be my last. My second beer of June also happens to be my 2nd new state rating of the month. That's some top quality state ticking! As for this beer in particular, it was pretty solid. It leans toward the sweet side, and is something I'd drink again. Better then I expected (for Arkansas!).
