Bottle. Not a very good IPA. Gold color. Rather small head for an IPA. Taste not very hoppy. Aroma, bland.

Notes from May 2009 Heavy layer of sediment on the bottom, no BB date. Served into my Sly Fox paperweight. A pretty decent pour left the beer just a shakes worth of floaters in suspension. Syrupy, glazed yellow color. Twinge of dulled-out orange on the second, more heavy-handed pour. Thin, white comb-over froth. Smell first malty sweet, turning vine-y & earthy. Very ho-hum. Taste is white bread & a little too much malt at the start, then turning a touch salty & maybe metallic. Half way through a soapy bitterness starts to go at it, eventually becoming very leafy bittergreen that lingers through a drying, papery finish. Not very bitter, but... gasp, pretty balanced. Carbonation is middle/middle high, but the dryness plays a bigger, better part. Get those yeasties in there. It didn't start well, but halfway through it became a pretty decent IPA. This is probably really satisfying super fresh. :)

Bottle split at RBWG ’15 hotel lobby share on the final night, from a bottle shop in Asheville, 21/02/15. Golden with a decent light beige cap. Nose is pale malt, caramel, straw, orange. Taste comprises toasted bread, caramel, orange pith, straw. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with light hop bitterness. A rather pedestrian IPA which delivers little.

A golden IPA with a thick mocha head. In aroma, light caramel malt with floral hops, OK. In mouth, a good caramel malt with grassy British floral hops, light grapefruit pulp, decent.

12 oz. bottle. Pours pale gold, with a medium, off-white head. The aroma is white bread, hay, and citrusy hops. The flavor is mildly bitter, with light fructose sweetness. The palate is light to medium, and unpleasantly astringent. Overall, this is a fair IPA.
