May 26, 2007 Growler; from the brewery. Poured a clear, lighter amber. Medium to large white head. Aroma is floral, grassy, caramel, and hints of pine. Light body with a crisp, dry finish. Flavor of floral/citrus and biscuit/caramel malt. Easy drinking and the low alcohol level makes this a really good session type IPA.

Oct 17, 2006 On tap Knoxville Brewers Jam 06. A nice amber/orange pour. A weak light off white head with thick lacing. A nice malty flavor with a citrusy hops kicker. A very nice beer with the kind of bitter that stays with you without getting thick. I wish I had this beer earlier in the day.

Sep 16, 2006 Draught at the brewpub. Pours a bright copper with tight white head. The aroma is bready with lots of resinous hops. The flavor is sticky, fruity hops with earthy sweet malt tones. It gets more of a pine sap quality as it warms. Very clean, enjoyable IPA.

Aug 26, 2007 This was probably the best beer I sampled at the Southern Brewers Fest. A copper color with some nice lacing on my plastic mug. The aroma consisted of caramel, grapefruit, and perfume. The flavor is rather bitter but had a nice malt presence as well. I picked up some lemons, grapefruit, caramel, and brown sugar. Overall this was a good one.

Aug 25, 2007 Summertime Brewsfest. Amber on the pour. Sweet, fruity aroma. Simply fantastic. I don’t want to try and pick it apart. Delicious hop aroma. Bitter, waxy, fruity, sweet flavor. Just great. All of their stuff is just great.

Mar 29, 2007 500mL hand bottled swingtop from BleacherBum, thank you Ryan. I was instructed to open this beer first just in case the carbonation wouldn’t hold, but it did fine. Pours a crystal clear honey golden with a one finger slighty frothy eggshell head, decent retention. Some lacing does cling, though not a huge amount. Aroma of citrus and piney hops, grass, flower petals, light powdered sugar and a bit of biscuits. Flavor is more flower petals, a little less citrus, and a decent amount of biscuits to help balance this. Semidry finish with bitterness at a 6 (out of 10). Lighter in body with moderate carbonation. Pretty solid IPA overall. This beer tastes as much like GI IPA as anything I’ve had. You did good, Ryan!
