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, courtesy of mar) Pours a clear amber body with a medium off-white head. Aroma of pine, caramel, toasted grain, and florals. Flavor of hops (floral, grass, pine, resin) and caramel malt.

Poured crystal clear in a orange-copper color and off-white head. The aroma was a mix, but strong, of bready malt and citrus hop. Hops lean toward domination. The flavor is malt dominant but again strong in both malt and hop. Citrus being the main hop component. Almost a medium body with a semi-dry finish and a good bitterness. A solid IPA.

Bottle obtained in a trade with OldGrowth. Thanks! Bottled 11/25/08. Poured a clear copper color. The head was thick and off white with good retention and lacing. I smelled caramel, orange, toffee, mango, and a bit of pine. Medium bodied and sweet. Mild to moderate bitterness with caramel, guava, pine and wet stone flavors.

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.

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!
