A brilliant, dry pale ale with an aggressive hop character balanced with a smooth finish. A bold beer best consumed with a stiff upper lip.

Draft from Flying Saucer Raleigh. Light golden in color,. good lacing and retention. Peppery hop aroma. Nice hop profile in the taste. A tad bit too bitter, but overall very well balanced.

Courtesy of Degarth. Pours a hazy orange with frothy white head. The mild aroma is sweet sugary malts and mild hops like grapefruit and over ripe orange. Just like the aroma it starts sweet and malty with a hint of astringency. The hops are mild with grapefruit, ripe orange and orange rind. The bitterness builds some into the finish but is overall lackluster in its assertiveness.

Bottle: Poured a light orangey color ale with a small foamy head with some good retention and some medium lacing. Aroma of bitter malt is dominating with no discernable notes of caramel malt. Taste is also dominated by some deep bitter hops notes with some subtle malt presence. I would have appreciated some more notes of citrus or resin. Body is about average with some medium carbonation.

Aroma is orange and grapefruit, with a little yeast. Cloudy amber with a thin to medium light orange head. Dry and yeasty, lemon peel. Piny finish. Kind of a chewy mouthfeel. I like this brewer, but this isn’t one of their best. Still above average.

A hazy orange beer with a thick beige head. The aroma is lightly hoppy combined with light notes of oranges. The flavor is very grassy and with a dry bitter end, but I find the body a bit thin.

This was a fairly average IPA with fewer interesting characteristics than this brewery’s American Pale Ale. Small white head atop a light yellow, clear body. The light hop aroma was mostly perfumey and the malts presented a nose of grain and straw. Lightly sweet in flavor with a moderate bitterness in the finish. The medium body had average carbonation and a slick texture.

12oz bottle-pours a white head with hazy yellow color. Aroma is a strong, different for me, hops. Taste follows. Good carbonation.

Bottle. Flowery apple/apricot aroma - slightly musty. Medium yellow with small head. Very unique hops flavor - initially just a dry sensation with the bitterness building to a crescendo then very slowly fading away. Slight pine flavor - never seems to get too bitter. Impressive - the hops characteristics of this beer are a work of art - incredibly well-balanced without going over the edge.

Bottle. I’ve had this several times on tap, but htis is the first time from a bottle. Not quite the IPA I remember from the past and I expect more from this brewer. Huge head over a hazy dark yellow body. Sweet malt and gentle pine aroma which certainly isn’t overdone, but o.k. Balanced flavor need mor eintensity. This makes a fine APA but falls short of being a top IPA.
