May 17, 2009 In short: An unusual and off-putting IPA with boring malts and weird spicy hops.
How: Bottle 12oz. Consumed soon after purchase (I think). Tasting session
The look: Cloudy orange-blonde body topped by a small white head
In long: A bland malt profile with boring dry cereals/hay. Some fruity notes with citrus fruits and an unexpected banana presence. Weird hops, burnt/smoked weed, spicy, floral. Hard to describe really. It was not bad but it was “off”. A beer that is sure help maintain South Carolina status as one of USA top 50 beer states.

May 12, 2009 My Bottom Line:
This very approachable India Pale Ale quenches with its prominent citrusy hop perfume, subtle honeyed malts and modest earthy bitterness.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A veil of foam tops the hazy blonde.
-Balanced is achieved throughout.
-The mouthfeel is rather lean, and the carbonation quite smooth.
-The aromatic hop character is also herbal and spicy.
-Malts could offer more in terms of flavor.

May 8, 2009 Bottle from thickfreakness. Thanks Charles! Smells old with faded gross malt and hops. Taste is of somewhat sharp herbal and earthy hops. Some tea notes, but not in the sweet, old IPA way that I usually get them in. Thin but crisp and sharp hop flavor. Decent.

May 7, 2009 12 oz bottle. Earthy and resin hop aroma. Clear orange amber with persistent small white head. Carmel with a touch of graininess with resin tea like hop flavor. Medium body and mouth feel. Medium finish with light residual bitterness.

Feb 9, 2009 Golden amber with a soft sparkle and creamy head. Herbal, woody aroma with some toasty notes. Woody, lightly toasty character. Nice balance. Light character but good refreshment.

Feb 6, 2009 Medium bodied and full flavored, just the right strength for this beer. Nice lightly sweet piney hop flavor with a bitter finish. Some bread and caramel malts in the background. Ultra drinkable, but not at all weak and watery. I am surprised it is rated so low. A little overcarbonated perhaps.

Feb 6, 2009 Clear orange-amber with small tan head. Fresh hop aroma is balanced by nice malty breadiness. Some apple skins too. Quaffable mouthfeel is a little prickly. Nice English hop character, I can imagine this shining on cask. Nothing spectacular, just a dry drinkable Brit-style IPA.
