Commercial Description:
This India Pale Ale is an exciting beer with a floral in aroma and an incredible hop flavor. The maltiness is increased (over a regular pale ale) to help balance the aggressive hop usage. This contributes to the higher alcohol content as well.

(abbreviated review, due to short notes) - Light hop, thin mouthfeel and weak taste, slightly sweet.

Poured a slightly cloudy golden yellow color with a tall creamy white head that left a good bit of lacing. A very good floral/citrus aroma. An initial good crisp hoppy bite with a mild citrus flavor. The flavor rolled into a nice hop bitterness on the finish that built throughout the glass. Surprisingly good beer being that I got a 12 pk for $6.99.

Hoppy trails to you, Appallachian. Bitter, dull rather offensive pine needle flavor with lingering bitter grapefruit rind medicine. Nagging terrible soap. Aroma is same as flavor but more enjoyable and refreshing. Costly, $4 for a bottle, but nice label. On style, what else can be said? Borders on doppel IPA territory.

[1584-20080816] 355mL bottle. Peat mud aroma has light woodsy floral notes. Clear, light brown orange body with a quick foamy off-white head. Woodsy hops and heavy yeast flavour. Medium-full body. Booooozy.

Golden color with a soapy white head that leaves pretty good lacing. Smell has a little bit of a nice citrus zest, but is overpowered by some sulfur-like aromas. Initially has a nice grapefruit taste but sadly it kicks into a strange metallic, buttery, and sulfury taste. Lighter than medium body with medium carbonation. I wanted to like this one more, but I just couldn’t seem to get into it.
