Apr 23, 2009 Growler, courtesy dchmela. This one pours a dark golden orange color with a small and foamy off white head that leaves some spotty lacing behind in its wake. The aroma is really nice showing fresh squeezed oranges, grapefruit, and citrus hops. The toasted caramel malt base comes through in the nose, but lets the hops do their thing. A really citrusy aroma on this one. The flavor follows with the juicy orange and bitter grapefruit hops, but balanced out nicely by the toasted caramel and toffee malts. The mouthfeel is full and slick with balanced carbonation and just so easy to drink. The citrus flavors really come through and set this one apart. Awesome beer.

Apr 22, 2009 Growler, courtesy dchmela. The body pours clear, dark golden amber in color. A small, foamy, off white head leaves some nice legging on the glass, with sugary micro-spots forming thereafter. The nose shows an abundance of juicy Florida naval orange, along with floral citrus blossoms, grapefruit, and hints of tropical mango. Under the hops lies a subdued toffee malt base that allows the perfumy citrus to work its magic. Flavors mirror the aroma, bright orange, grapefruit, and mango hop bitterness being countered nicely by lightly sweet toffee and hints of caramel. This is one of the more balanced IIPAs out there, and the depth of the fruity hops is insanely enjoyable. The body is big, slick, and balanced on the palate. Outstanding brew.

Apr 16, 2009 Damn, dchemela comes through with a kickass brew! I’m not even that huge of a fan of East Coast IPA’s, but this one is great. Pine hops and vanilla. Ultra smooth. Fantastic brew.

Mar 20, 2009 Thanks so much to the Carolina crew guys for setting me up with a hand bottle so that I could enjoy this one at home after the tasting. This is a big piney, grapefruity, thick and syrupy hop bomb. Right up my alley.
