Commercial Description:
This copper-colored ale has pronounced Fuggle hop aroma from the time-honored tradition of dry hopping. This ale is the most aggressive house beer and not for the faint of heart. House Brand is also served from a traditional English beer engine.

My favorite beer from this great brewpub. Nice and hoppy with an inviting aroma and appearance. I took a growler of this home.

This was a nice orange color, it did not have much smell to speak of only a faint hoppiness. The flavor was where this beer shined, intense fruitiness without citrus flavors. A fine IPA and although the hoppiness was weird I would definitely buy this beer again. Serving type: on-tap Reviewed on: 02-13-2009 21:12:29

Had this on cask at Rock Bottom in Atlanta. It sent me here to rate it. Poured a slightly hazy dark amber with a small white head. Aroma of pine, citrus and some vanilla (?). Flavor was excellent. Mouthfeel was creamy, which set up the muted grapefruit flavor, that was excellently backed by malt balance. Finish was piney. Medium body with soft carbonation.

Draught at the Charlotte, NC Rock Bottom location. Clear copper color with thin off white head. Big flowery hop nose. Flavor is distinctly hoppy, but well balanced with malty caramel flavor. Dry and bitter throughout. Bitterness lingers.

Deep copper colored brew with an off white clinging head. The first drink was a hop explosion. (Fuggle I only know that because I asked) what ever they are you know their there. Each drink is better than the previous one. That first drink will awaken taste buds on your tongue that have maybe never been used. It may be short of great but not by much.

Orange appearance, fairly smooth with a bitter taste. Not true to an IPA style as its mostly just hops. No fruit flavor or complexity exists but a good beer nonetheless. It was a relief to see many people sampling this beer and much fewer people sucking down one BMC after another. Maybe there is hope for this town yet!

re-rate on cask at Noog 2006. Appearance was gorgeous. My first cask anything and i had heard it would be flat and warm, and it was not. it gave this beer an amazing appearance of completely opaque orange with very thick full almost nitrous like head. aroma was perfume and pine, lots of floral aroma to it. flavor was very smooth and had some grapefruit, cirtus, some pine, and the same floral profile to it. verygood malty flavors. i enjoyed this a lot more than off the cask.

Pleasant hop aroma. Malty body and a decent hop finish. Not as balanced throughout as would be expected.
