Jul 15, 2007 on tap-pours a retaining creamy light tan head that laces and copper color. Aroma is mild citrus hops. Taste is citrus hops-bitter, balanced with medium malt-some caramel, smokiness. German halletaur, Willamette, fuggle (cascade derivative). Good carbonation.

Feb 8, 2006 Very bitter, powerful, stinging taste, although that gets better after the first one or two beers. Fairly powerful in alcohol. Citrusy. Medium amber color with a slightly burnt yellow head. Comes in a growler. Good value during happy hour.

May 28, 2005 Not as overwhelming as most IPAs, but a good offering none the less. I would definitely order it again. Calhouns is a great place to have a pint and a bite to eat.

Jan 16, 2009 On tap at the brewpub on 10/04/2008. Cloudy orange body with a medium creamy off-white head. Sweet citrus and floral hops on a caramel background. Very sweet citrus hop flavor, light floral notes following behind, and a smooth caramel finish. Fairly little residual bitterness in the finish. Medium body with moderate carbonation.

Sep 21, 2005 Growler. Medium amber color with offwhite head. Nose of pine and subtle citrusy hops, along with some astringency. Medium body. Flavors of grainy malt, nice hop bitterness, pine resin, caramel sweetness and tacky hop finish. Could have a bit more aroma hops for the nose and finish. The alcohol is right up there where I like for IPA’s-- a couple of these and yer feelin fine.... All in all I wish it were boosted a bit and more balanced.

Dec 1, 2007 Good effort from the boys at Cally’s. Dark amber pour, slightly hazy with a smallish head. Relatively lightweight for an IPA, but appears more to their clientele. Decent hoppiness, a bit sweet for my tastes.

Oct 17, 2004 Medium amber, nice creamy head. Aroma of pines. Flavor is aggressively hoppy, with concentrated notes of pine and resin. The body is just a hair thinner than I would prefer, needing just a bit more of a malty note to keep things balanced. But a nice hop kick to keep me happy. Thanks to Rob for hauling down the growler!

Nov 6, 2007 An enjoyable beer. It could be quite good if it were just a little more of everything. A little more hop flavor, a little more malt. As it is, it’s a nice beer, and I’d buy it again, but it isn’t the best example of an IPA out there.
