On draught Feb 2005 at Barleys, Knoxville. Rich, bright orange-gold body with a small white head, not completely filtered looking. Aroma of grass, herbs, hay and grains. Flavor is lightly sweet, with a big dose of straight up pale malt. Some light pils malt sweetness as well, with a muted hops finish. Very good texture, not sharp and bubbly, but smooth, drinkable and only moderately carbonated. Medium-light body.

Brewed with "Altitude" and "dry-hooped" eh? Bottle from Hop and Leaf Feb 2005. Deep copper-amber color, with strong tinges of auburn and orange. Clear, with an off-white head that dissipates lazily, leaving some lace. Pretty basic PNW IPA. The hops do give off more than just pure citrus bitterness, there is some fruitiness in there. Quite fresh tasting, a bit dry on the malt side. I think wohlfs just about nailed the review. This one showcases the fresh hops, and leaves only some light grains to balance.

Bottle: Poured a brown ale with a medium head with average retention. Aroma is comprised exclusively of some bitterness. Taste is also quite bitter with a medium body. Overall, I would say that this taste like 90% of IPA’s I tasted to date – I’m getting a bit tired of this one-sided style and looking forward to try another IPA with more subtlety.

Bottle: Poured a orangey color ale with a medium head that disappeared way too fast. Aroma is clearly dominated by some cinnamon. Taste is quite particular with a mix of cinnamon, what I think is pumpkins and some nice malt. Very warm feeling after a couple of sip, which I did, enjoyed during a cold winter night. Overall, considering this is my first pumpkin beer, I was enough enamoured that I wouldn’t mind trying some other ones.

Bottle: Poured a light golden color beer with a medium bubbly head with average retention. Aroma is quite subtle with some crisp malt noticeable. Taste is quite refreshing with some crisp and sweet malt. I had worst pils but this one just lack character to be truly interesting.

Paid $1.49 for a 12-oz single. Slightly hazy yellow with a very large white head. I wish I could give a 0 for aroma and have it not count, because honestly, I can’t smell a thing from this pour. Taste is dirty and earthy grasses.. kinda light, but not light-light. Kinda sweet and... funky.

Thickness in the grapefruit aroma... lotsa hops with kick, rather tha just being overlaced. Appearance is nice: deep amber, almost cloudy... small, but pretty head. Flavor is sweet and sour, with light pine flavor, and a deep malt that is overturned by a back end of lovely hops.

Draught. This is a good solid IPA that resembles the better Western IPA's. A prominent hop aroma with a clean piney-citrusy note to it. Well balanced with good mouthfeel and finish is hoppy. Bottled. Deep copper with a frothy, just off white head. Malty, with good hop balance, woody. Dry finish.

From City Beverage in Winston-Salem. Pours a lightly hazy pale amber color with light effervescence. Thin off-white head and minimal lacing. The aroma is lightly hopped with a little caramel added. The body is on the light side and rather fizzy, with a light hops flavor throughout, and an underlying sweet maltyness. The finish falls a little flat and makes the beer a kind of bland overall. This could be better, because they have the foundation for a decent beer here.

From City Beverage in Winston-Salem. Pours a light clear gold color with a thin white head that dissipates quickly. Weak lacing. The aroma is light hops with a gentle underlying sweetness. Body is on the light side and is a little fizzy, with flavors of hops and some malt. The finish is lightly crisp and bitter. Kind of boring overall but a decent representation of the style.
