Sampled from draft at the Carolina Beer Company in the Charlotte airport during a layover at 9am in the morning. Darker rootbeer appearance. Creamy head. mild dark beer aroma, but no fragrance really sticks out. A well behaved dark brew. Good example of a friendly dark beer without any offensive attributes. Wet old roasty back woods flavors. On th finish, not offensive yet provides the satisfaction of good beer personality.

Sampled from draft at the Carolina Beer Company in the Charlotte airport during a layover at 9am in the morning. Clean attractive aroma. Typical pale yellow american lager appearance but it does have plenty of streaming carbonation within. Creamy thin head. Grassy hay and lite straw, not bad. Friendly and easy to drink. Nice session brew. Has a slightly dull finish but overall very enjoyable. No offensiveness at all.

12oz bottle courtesy of Degarth. Pours with just a hint of haziness, although I’m struggling to see Quake1028 though it. The body haze sort of an orange to rust look with some gold on the edges with off white head and weak spotty lacing. The aroma started initially with an unfortunate metal note. I then get kettle caramelization and molasses mixed together with some lightly roasted malt sweetness. The hop flavor is rather weak to start with maybe some faint pine, grapefruit bitterness. It is tough to pick up. Better check the label again, wow, this is an IPA? Just timid vague bitterness to go along with lightly roasted malts that just ride to the finish. Not really an IPA taste from my point of view.

12 oz. bottle from Suttree. H0207 on neck. Pour is mostly orange with some slight haze, carbonation bubbles and a nice 1 inch off white head. Aroma of flowery hops and some malt. Body is a bit thin, hop presence light to start (citrus and pine for what is there) malt in the middle, and a decent hop bitter finish. Perhaps this had some age, but the hops were a bit too muted for an IPA. Decent ale, however.

Bottle. Color was an orangeish amber color. Head was small white. The aroma was light in spices (nutmeg and cloves) and actually relatively strong in pumpkin. The flavor actually tasted a bit like pumpkin! I was very impressed as so many pumpkin beers don’t really taste like pumpkin so much as they taste like pumpkin pie.

Bottle. Sour pumpkin, nutmeg, cinnamon aroma. Cloudy orange-brown with small head. Strong pumpkin malt and cinnamon/nutmeg/mace flavor - spices more subdued than in the aroma. Very nice beer.

Pumpkin pie aroma. Orange color, medium head. Tastes of sweet cream, nutmeg, and pumpkin. The pumpkin taste is more pronounced than in other pumpkin ales I have had.
