Jun 2, 2009 Bottle. Ruddy bronze color with a skim of manila froth. Scant lace. Aromas of grapefruit, copper, and mint-chocolate wafers leap from the glass, and deep buttery caramel bulldozes through it. Surprisingly, only a timid malt chewiness carries over into the taste, with a clean spicy hop flavor taking lead. Lightish palate; resiny, grapefruity aftertaste becomes pretty harsh the farther I get down the glass, punctuated by tartness and diacetyl. Fermented with Ringwood? Not lovin’ it.

pours copper, off white head, good white lacing.
Aroma and taste, plenty of good pine and citrus hops. Not overly bitter with light caramel notes and some brown sugar.
A tasty IPA.

May 26, 2009 Location: 12 oz bottle from Greens Discount Beverage - Atlanta (Buford Hwy), 5/26/09
Aroma: Floral, hoppy nose, a bit buttery
Appearance: Reddish burnt orange color, about 1/2- finger of white head that dissipates quickly, some minor lacing on the glass
Flavor: Early taste is a nice balance between sweet malts and floral hops, middle to late palate is more bitter, with a nice lasting bitter hoppy aftertaste
Palate: Medium body, a bit sticky
Overall Impression:
It’s got some typical IPA characteristics, but it’s a little different. I like what they tried to do here, its a good effort, and an interesting take on the IPA.

May 23, 2009 Pours deep copper color with a beige head. Sweet caramel nose with bitter pine hops. Starts out tasting more like an amber, biscuit malts, followed by the floral/pine hops you would expect from an ipa. Somewhat sticky and dry palate. Not the flavor I look for in an ipa.

May 22, 2009 I can’t remember much from beerfest, not the best and not the worst. So so. I will try it again given the opp.

May 17, 2009 Draft at OTH. Not a bad IPA. Had all the normal characteristics, just nothing that blows your socks off. Nice bitter flavor and floral finish.

May 12, 2009 Pours clear amber with a medium white head. Nose of floral and pine hops. Rather bitter pine hops predominate in the taste, with some malt balance. Bitter finish. Not bad.

May 6, 2009 Copper pour with a nice, lasting white head. Aroma is very floral as the brewers description indicates. Flavor is predominately floral hops with some pine. Malty sweetness but dry on the palette. Finish is quick, bitter and malty. One dimensional but a decent brew.
