Oct 8, 2008 12oz bottle. Fresh. Mellon orange pour with a nice layer of lacy white cream. The aroma is juicy hops, kinda creamy smelling. The flavor is hops, that are kinda juicy, kinda spicy, and then there are creamy caramel malts that leave a toasty finish. I don’t know that anything here is bad, but I’m not enjoying it.

Oct 7, 2008 12 oz bottle all around ATL. Pours a yellowish orange with creamy white crown that has minimal-to-moderate retention and very little lacing. Aroma is full of citrus and fruity hops, very unique and likable with a slight malt undertone. Flavour is aggressive at first taste with initial hop bitterness all the way through the taste to the crisp and somewhat bitter finish, but there is a good malt backbone to support the hops. Very decent drinker with moderate carbonation that does not interfere with the taste profile. There is some sweetness in the malt that offsets and balances the hops in the beer. This is much different than a West Coast-style IPA, which is a very good quality for this beer. I’m glad I can get it here in Atlanta, as it’s a safe choice and a reliable drinker for the price. Best beer Abita brews, in my opinion.

Oct 5, 2008 This is a pleasant IPA - more bitter than most. It pours a nice gold color and has a unique taste - citrus? for an IPA. It has a malty flavor with a dry finish. Not my favorite IPA but I give it credit for originality - I will certainly drink it again.

Oct 5, 2008 Clear amber color. It starts with a quite nice hop aroma, almost fleshy, meaty; then it turns more into toffee. Medium body, with a sweet toffee flavor, soft mouthfeel, strong but not aggressive bitterness. The hops show both some resiny and fruity character, but the final gets a cookie character too. An original American Pale Ale.

Oct 5, 2008 (bottle - 12 oz) Clear gold in color with a fizzy white head. Aroma is light and floral with hints of hops, honey, citrus, and grass. Flavor is very mild as well. Some floral hops at the beginning with a bitter and hoppy middle and a bitter finish that lasts for a bit.

Oct 3, 2008 From bottle. Pours clear golden with a small white head. Smells like warm sweet citrusy honey. Flavors are mild and well balanced with more malt than expected. Would not guess it’s ~6.5%.

Oct 1, 2008 bottle from total wine. Orange color wtih an off white head. Aroma is sweet and sticky for an IPA. Taste is watery, too sweet and too malty. This one would be so much better with some more hops. This one is overrated IMO.

Sep 30, 2008 Pours a bright copper orange with a two finger sticky yellow head. Well retained head. The nose is sweet hops, smells English in the malt profile, earthy hops, lightly floral, actually has a pretty up front malt profile in the nose. The flavor is sweet, malty, tastes like an English IPA, hops are pretty subdued, earthy herbal hops, terroir, not much bitterness. The mouthfeel is pretty mild, not much bitterness and a soft carbonation.
