Jmichael (589), Asheville, North Carolina, USA Apr 12, 2007 on tap, pours and cloudy amber, sweet beer, sweet on the front, with mild bitterness on the finish... a good grab..
Butters (573), Temporarily in Nashville, Tennessee, USA Oct 30, 2008 Near opaque dark orange with some light tan head. Not balanced at all. Sweet caramel malt and then just a single hop bitterness. But I don’t really care for this style. aracauna (2251), Georgia, USA Jul 10, 2008 This isn’t an IPA, but then the brewer does’t call it one. It should probably be listsed as American pale ale like it’t described in the description. Slighty toasted bread malt is balanced by a nice bitterness, but the aroma is a bit weak. beerguy101 (3544), Newark, California, USA Jun 3, 2008 This APA pours a light gold color from the tap at the brewpub. Small to medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is slightly bready some malt and hops. A medium to light bodied American Pale Ale. The malts are caramel and sweet. The hops are slightly citrusy. More of a mild English Pale Ale. Nice finish, but nowhere bitter enough for an APA, let alone an IPA. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter. colemgm8 (422), Alpharetta, Georgia, USA Mar 28, 2008 on tap at Asheville Pizza on 3/22. Nice standard IPA that doesn’t offer anything special or spectacular, but does it’s job well... a clean, slightly hoppy and refreshing beer that goes great with the wonderful pizza this place puts out... BlackDonald (1039), North Carolina, USA Jan 23, 2008 Tap @ brewpub - This is much more aggreeable than the Shiva. Deeper in color with a stronger maltiness and what seems to be a more complimentary hop profile. Has more upfront fruitiness, but has a bitter bite in the finish. Decent, but needs food.
