On tap at the Friday’s within the Atlanta airport and poured into a large 22oz like schooner glass and super duper cold. It has a clear deep gold body with copper hues and a dirty white head of foam that leaves behind some sheet lacing. The mild aroma is pretty unremarkable with vague bitter hops leaning toward citrus with faint maltiness and sweetness in the background. The taste delivers a moderate level of citrus and seemingly slightly acidic bitterness. It has sort of a lemon lime like quality with fairly thin body and minimal malt presence. I do get a faint drying and slight roasted maltiness into the finish. This could use more late addition to the boil flavor hops to create a bit more balance and depth as it seems I’m only getting bittering hops. But obviously that’s me. Pretty good IPA for this beer wasteland venue.

On tap at Tavern 99 in Buckhead, Atlanta. Pours dark orange with a thin, tan head. The aroma is caramel, butterscotch, mild cheese, flowers, and peat. The flavor is very sweet, but well balanced with a good hop bitterness. The palate is light to medium, smooth, and quaffable. Overall, this is a very malty IPA, but very good. Would try again.

10 oz. pour at the Vortex. Pours dark brown with a medium, pillowy, tan head. The aroma is toffee, roasted malts, and notes of oak, peat, and vanilla. The flavor is very sweet, with a little bitterness in the finish. The palate is medium to heavy, grainy, with a clean finish. Overall, this is a very tasty scotch ale.
