Commercial Description:
Carolina Brewing Company is proud to roll out our Holiday Wiggo. If you’re not familiar with Wiggo, it’s a dark copper-colored IPA that weighs in at 6.0% alcohol by volume. We use lots of dark caramel malt to balance the heavy citrusy, piney aroma and flavor from Cascade and Centennial hops (including a heavy dose for dry hopping in the fermenter). Holiday Wiggo is our fourth version of this beer (Wiggo

12oz bottle from ucusty - thanks, David! More robust and yeasty nose than CBC’s regular IPA, this one is appealing. Strong golden body, with an ample head and modest carbonation, this one has an earthy quality from the get-go. I get more pine and resin than citrus, which is fine, because it offsets the somewhat bready qualities that seem to persist in all of this brewery’s offerings. Pretty good. Thanks, D!

Bottled 11/25/08. Clear vibrant copper pour. Fluffy off-white head and drippy lace. Citrus and grapefruit on the nose. Grainy, grapefruit flavor decent beer with some similarities to SN celebration.

bottle, from brewery. bottled on 11/25/08. gotta like that. Good aroma, bitter, citrus, grapefruit, lemon, grass, minor evergreen, Clean brownish orange color, Good head that faded to a ring. Ok lacing. Bitter flavor, a real puckerer, Medium body, oily creamy mouth feel, bitter finish. The appearance was great on the pour that was more vigorous head pooped up nice. beautiful color, Nice strong aroma. Why is this called Wiggo the IV when it says Holiday Wiggo in their description? eh that’s me. A winner from Holly Springs...
