Sampled from the tap at the Chattanooga location. Pours a hazy orange with a yellow hue and a white head that dissipates to the edges and laces slightly. Aroma has a bright citrus with a bit of melon and sweet grains backing. Flavor has much more of a dank citrus and earthy melon with some grain backing.

Sampled from the tap at the Chattanooga location. Pours a clear deep amber with a near white head that dissipates to the edges slowly and laces. Aroma is bread forward with a bit of sweet grain and light flora underlying. Flavor has more of a bread and sweet grains combination with a bit of hay in the finish.

Sweet grain and biscuit notes but with the same weird tartness as the Tailgate IPA I just had. Not a dealbreaker but not a beer I’d order again.

Not bad but offers up an underlying tartness that seems a bit out of whack with the rest of the IPA flavors. Mild notes of caramel and peach and lychee mixed with grapefruit zest and dank. Odd but drinkable.

Can from Dasha: pours orange with white head. Aroma is orange and wheaty bubblegum. Taste is sweetish, lightly tangy and spritzy. Simple. Fine.

They forgot the haze, but that’s a good thing? Lots of tropical fruit and citrus zest, followed by pine and a moderate boozy sweetness and a pleasant bitter streak on the fade. Good beer.

Malty but overly sweet with a floral perfumey undertone that’s not altogether pleasant. Hints of cocoa and toasted bread, followed by a mild bitterness. Eh.

Drinkable if a tad dull, a very beer-tasting beer but a little light on character. Mild notes of cracker and cut grass and apple, with a modest floral bitterness on the finish. Decent.
