May 23, 2009 Pours a nice amber with a nice lasting beige head. Smell is mildly hoppy with some fruity caramel. Taste is grainy, hoppy, a bit metallic with some off flavor, but still decent and drinkable. Medium body, crisp carbonation.

May 22, 2009 sampled at the Abita tasting at grape & gourmet. pours a clear, golden orange with a thin, soapy white head and light lacing. aroma was very nice with bright, floral hops, citrus, and a hint of pale malt. flavor was solid as well with citrus and pine hop notes, a touch of grass, and a slight sweetness. palate is smooth, slightly thin, with good carbonation and a dry, citrus hop finish. overall, a solid session IPA.

May 7, 2009 On tap in New Orleans at multiple locations throughout the French Quarter, during 40th Annual Jazz & Heritage Festival weekend, May 09. Clear golden color, with short-lived white head. Light aroma of stale hops and some grass, but with a mildly sweet note of orange citrus. Flavor is sessionable, with a medium bitterness and floral hops presence. Light malt sweetness balances it out. Finish is lacking depth and character, with a grainy cereal note. Thin and too simple, but easy to drink.

May 4, 2009 Pours a gorgeous dark orange with a 3/4-inch head that recedes slowly. Aroma is pretty typical: Good old grapefruity hops and other citrus fruits. Flavor is pretty malty for an IPA, and it works out well. The hoppiness is medium, average for the style. There is also a distinct floral essence in the center. Finishes pretty dry. Mouthfeel is full, thicker viscosity. A very nice IPA, in my opinion. I could drink a lot of this, actually. Underrated. Overall, very good. Thanks Abita.

May 4, 2009 Reviewed 4/27/2009 (Bottle):
Pours a light amber brown clear colored body, foamy off-white head, lasting-ish. Hoppy aroma, earthy. Pungent. Malty taste, some fruity, citrusy notes. Hoppy taste. Less hops as it warms up, more sweet and malty. Eh.
