Aug 15, 2008 Backlogged rating. Had on tap at the Federal, Durham, NC, summer 2007. This was the first Foothills brew to make me really sit up and take notice. A huge grapefruity aroma wafting off the kind of cloudy orange body and solid foamberg one expects from the So Cal titans of the style. Wonderful use of simcoe makes this so delicious, several pints were had. If (when?) Jamie and co. start bottling, I will session the hell out of this beer.

May 18, 2008 Sampled at the Savor DC event. Pours a clear orange amber with a frothy, rocky head. Aroma pine, hop resin and oils with some tropical fruits. Crisp, clean flavor or oranges, pine and citrus zest. Flavorful and drinkable. Quick side note: Jamie and the guys from Foothills were without a doubt some of the nicest guys at the entire event.

Mar 4, 2007 Sweet hoppy aroma with hints of light citrus and pine. Clean, crisp flavors of hop, citrus and fresh cut grass. Aftertaste is malty while still being crisp and dry. No lingering bitterness on this one. Surprised at how drinkable this IPA is for as much flavor and balance it packs. Very light (in a good way). Smooth and refreshing! A great session IPA and yet another solid offering from a brewery that’s only been around for a couple of years. Love it.

Apr 27, 2008 They were Randalling (to borrow a Dogfish term) this puppy at the World Beer Fest in Raleigh, and the hops were fresh as can be. Poured right through fresh hops, my 2-oz pour had about 5 little hop leaves in it. Nice hop bitterness and good skunkiness. Citrus and intense up front, but lovely back palate. A great way to enjoy this brew. Nice one!

Jul 26, 2008 Pours a nice orange color with a medium head. Aroma is fruity and hoppy. Very crisp flavors with limited malts, creating a nice hoppy brew. An IPA worth trying.

Oct 15, 2006 I have a weakness for this type of IPA - extremely clean, a bit thinner bodied, and a unbalanced to the hop side. Extremely drinkable, and very enjoyable. Sampled at Knoxville Brewer’s Jam, 2006.

Jul 7, 2006 Growler thanks to Boboski. Poured a clear golden amber color with a small off-white head. Nice hoppy aroma with grapefruit and earthy notes. Caramel malt underneath. Decent hop flavor that rides over but doesn’t cover up the malt. Bitterness starts quickly during the flavor. Long dry bitter finish.
