Thick mouthfeel, very hoppy flavour with some malts. Bread-like. And in response to River’s rating... I do like licking envelopes. Uglyradio (776), Greenville, South Carolina, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 20, 2008 Updated: May 4, 200812 oz. Clear, burnt orange with a 3-finger, lasting head. Pleasant earthy citrus, peach, and resin aroma. Malt dominated front is slowly overtaken by the resiny hop bitterness, but still leaves some nice roasted grain flavors mixed with the bitter herb and resin hop in the aftertaste. Light medium-body is smooth and sessionable. Boutip (2404), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 7, 2008 Bottle courtesy of Unclemattie: Poured a light amber color ale with a nice foamy head with some good retention and some lacing. Aroma of well balanced caramel malt notes with some dry hops. Taste is also a well balance mix between some caramel malt with some nice bitter hops which tends to be more dry then citrusy. Body is quite full with some great carbonation. This one was definitely better then expected. Cletus (5060), Connecticut, USA

Smells of pine, citrus, some sage. Tastes earthy and spicy with some caramel and a peppery finish. Bigsilky (322), Charleston, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jan 9, 2006 wow, talk about some damn yankees. I think this beer certainly has the southern palate in mind. The only real problem I have with it stylisticly speaking is that it is a pale ale, even by English standards. One of the most refreshing IPAs I’ve ever had, and very well balanced. Perhaps an intro IPA? Color is spot on and the only real differense between this and SNPA is probably the grapefruity Cascade hop on the nose. Excellent beer, very well priced and nicely put together, even if it is a different beer. CaptainCougar (5544), Rockville, Maryland, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 21, 2007 Pours a slightly hazy bronze with a nicely-lacing frothy off-white head. Aroma of citrusy west coast hops and a touch pale malt. Body starts slightly sweet with a fresh citric hoppiness and a drier, crisp bittersweet finish. Pretty true to style and very drinkable, a nice IPA.
