Courtesy of City Beverage in Winston-Salem. Pours a dark chestnut color with a ruby hue. Medium thin light tan head and lacing that leaves rings down the glass that would make a dendrochronologist smile. Nice nutty aroma, along with some malt. Medium-bodied with a nice roasty character and flavors of nuts, malt and hops. It falls off a little toward the end but this is still a nicely drinkable Brown. The finish is lightly bitter hops and on the dry side. Pretty good overall.

This is kind of a run-of-the-mill IPA courtesy of City Beverage in Winston-Salem. After popping the twist-off cap, this beer pours a dark amber/orange with a very thin off-white head. Very little lacing. Aroma of hops and light citrus. Medium-bodied and a borderline thin at times, with flavors of hops, citrus and some malt. The finish is lightly bitter. A little on the simple side overall but nothing offensive.

Golden in colour with a very thin white head. Subtle aroma of malt, metal and a bit of sweetness. Light-bodied; Subtle flavours of malt, but that is about it. Aftertaste shows just about nothing as well, only leaving some of the malt behind. Overall, a spot-on beer for the style, but as it is a blonde, I don't care for it too much. I had this pint on draught at Barley's in Knoxville, Tennessee on 27-September-2003.

Orange-amber, hazy; huge yellow-amber head, slowly dissipating and lacey. Nose gives American hops, citrussy and herbal, some caramel. Very bitter taste, but with a sweet-caramel heart, nearly hidden by the hops. Well-bodied, hops give bitter-bite. Very characteristic, standard American IPA. Good.

Great dark colour, with a very hoppy nose. Flavour was tremendous, and the hops definately stood out. A great overall IPA, one of the best i've had in the past few months!

Orangey-amber; earthy, woody, vienna malt notes - end of day this is a standard amber.
