Moderately hazy orange and copper coloured body with a very thin, light brown and off-white head, only one centimetre tall, above the 60 per cent opaque orange coloured body. Aroma of grass, flowers, resin, hay, a slight amount of oranges and sweetness and a ton of piney notes in the nose, at least. Medium-bodied; Fairly crisp and robust deep grassy and piney hops dominate at first with a lot of alpha acid bitterness here and a slight sweetness closer to the end, but there isn't many malts here, and no depth, the dryness up front and all the bitterness from the hops clearly makes this show as an older school, West Coast IPA - nice! Aftertaste is dry still, super hoppy and fairly one-dimensional, aside from a little dose of stone fruits and orange qualities with a tiny bit of sugars, but these seem to add to the bitterness even more! Overall, a nice, very crisp and dry older school IPA that tastes much closer to a West Coast IPA, with a focus more on bitterness than any malts/sugars than anything near Imperial Status! Great to try, fresh from my recent trip to Georgia/South Carolina, but not my favourite overall. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Broughton Street Liqour in Savannah, Georgia on 30-December-2021 for US$4,99 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 16-February-2022.

500 ml. 2021 vintage. Blended. Aroma shows light Weller and spicy Buffalo Trace bourbons. The bourbon is lightly spicy with a mixture sugar coated raisins, prune, and toffee. Oak character. Bourbon is long lasting throughout the sip. Nice warming after the sip. Personal side note: my 100th beer from the state of North Carolina.

Bottle pour from share with AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! It's an opaque black with nice viscosity, no head or lacing. Aroma is nice, balanced mix of sweet roasted malt, barrel, bourbon, dark fruit. Taste is strong sweet malt, bourbon, oak, hint of toffee. Mouthfeel is medium-to-full bodied with thick, smooth texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, great balance.
