Jul 7, 2008 On tap at the Cats Cradle, Carrboro. A blessed relief after the mess that is the golden ale. This one has a nice floral hop aroma, a full pleasant mouthfeel, and a dry bitter finish to balance things out. Very refreshing and solid IPA.

Jun 25, 2008 Draught. Copper color, with a medium white head. Aroma is hoppy--citrus, and malty--caramel. Flavor is the same, with floral hops, and a grapefruit, pine flavor. Mouthfeel is sticky, but with a bitter hop finish.

Apr 6, 2008 Very tasterful IPA with a beautiful taste and texture. Surely a must try. Nice white head that lasts the entire beer. Give it a shot when in Chapel hill.

Feb 8, 2008 Appearance: Clear golden body with a large, fizzy, ivory-colored head.
Smell: A whiff of light caramel, a whiff of light citrus.
Taste: Pale malts with some sweet caramel mixed in. Citrusy hop flavor. Medium bitterness. Dry, citric finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Lively carbonation.
Drinkability: A beer that decided to err on the side of light, easy drinkability, but, as it offers almost no flavor or depth of character, I dare wonder what’s the point.

Jan 11, 2008 Draft from the brewery. Mildly cloudy copper/brown color. Mild hoppy grapefruit nose. The flavor’s easy to define: IPA, water, cascade hops, water, and a touch of water. Mmmm, waterdown IPA. Finishes clean, super drinkable, doesn’t offer a Godamn thing.

Oct 7, 2007 WBF. Nice IPA. Not too outstanding but a good example of the style. Moderate hop profile, not super distinguishable hop varieties. More of a broad hoppy bitter flavor.
