Rich copper coloured body with a bit of a honey and light bronze glow and a thin, single centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of bright grassy and citrus hops with hints of pine and alcohol, a little caramel and malt. Medium-bodied; Grassy and very deep herbal hops with a thin-body, some malt which adds depth and a pungent bitterness from the yeast that has quite a kick on the end. Aftertaste shows bitterness, some pungent hops and a little sweetness of caramel at the end. Overall, a decent IPA, but showing too much bitterness and not enough depth and complexity to be worthwhile, especially since so many good IPAs exist all around the country. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Total Wine in Cary, North Carolina on 02-August-2014 for US$1,99 sampled at home in Washington on 25-October-2014.

12 oz. bottle. Dark brown, with a reddish hint and a small, tan head. The aroma is nice, light roast, oak, sherry, peat, and floral hops. Sweet and malty, with a light bitterness and some booziness. Medium body, creamy, a little acidic, and malty. This is an excellent brown ale! Nice, mellow nose, and good balanced flavor. Overall an approachable, complex, and delicious beer. I’m impressed!

12 oz. bottle. Pours a cloudy orange, with a small, bubbly, beige head. The aroma is caramel, pumpkin, strong cloves, juniper, and some herbal notes. The flavor is sweet up front, with a strong, acrid bitterness and metallic twang. Medium to heavy body, acidic, harsh, and flat. Overall, this is an abusive pumpkin ale. The pumpkin is present, especially in the initial nose, but the flavor is surprisingly unpleasant. Thanks for mentioning it, Lutz2jm. It does improve as it warms, into something considerably more mellow and approachable.

bottle. So-So IPA - but enjoyable. Nothing really stood out - very conservative IPA, which can be good

Draft. Dark amber maroon color, beige head with good retention. Aroma of cherries and brown bread. Taste is sweet and sour cherries, vinous, reminds me a bit of Rodenbach.
