scraff (1921), Baltimore, Maryland, USA Aug 28, 2009 Draft – Golden amber, creamy white head. Soft pine and citric aromas warm to a touch of florals. Bitter spicy citric-pine tones ride underlying fruity flavors throughout. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, bitter finish. Decent hop fix, but very one-dimensional… Drew (2406), Kent, Ohio, USA Jul 10, 2009 On tap at the pub, July 2009. This was a nice, well rounded IPA, good malts, hops were bitter but not bright, moe of an English styled IPA to my palate. I think I would have liked it more if it wasn’t so humid that day. wcampbell (572), Central, South Carolina, USA Jun 16, 2009 The best beer I had at this brewery. The slightly higher alcohol provided more body and a stronger malt presence than their other beers. American pale ale taste with piney hops. Not especially bitter or sweet. Pretty typical beer, but tasty and drinkable. ucusty (1871), Wake Forest, North Carolina, USA Apr 9, 2009 Hazy bright gold pour. Fluffy white head a spotty lace. Grain and citric notes on the nose. Pine, citrus and grains DrBayern (1135), Morehead City, North Carolina, USA Aug 23, 2008 Date: 08/23/08, draft at Front Street Brewing in Wilmington, NC.
Aroma - Caramel, some floral notes, and citrus
Appearance - Clear orange/gold, medium head.

Palate - Medium body and carbonation, clean, dry palate
Overall - A solid IPA with some good flavor and balance roder60 (1019), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 16, 2008 Pours light brown color with foamy whitish film. Aroma lots of citrus hops. Flavor very nice malt-hop balance with medium mouthfeel. Bit piney and citric bitterness. Overall a good ipa. Collint (452), Sylva, North Carolina, USA Jul 6, 2008 Draft at brewpub, pours a hazy yellow with a soapy hoppy aroma. Body was thin, flavor was similar to a Longhammer IPA, a little bit too soapy for my taste, good, nothing special. NicerInPerson (337), North of Raleigh, North Carolina, USA Oct 18, 2007 The aroma was estery and fruity with a light caramel and citrus with a lightly bready and woodsy character. A light bit of carboard was notable. The beer arrived cloudy amber golden with and off-white lasting head which laced the glass. The flavor contained more cardboard (oxidation) with caramel and citrus. The citrus was grapefruit and the flavors were a bit muddled. The body was medium with a moderate carbonation and a creamy texture on the palate. The finish was nice and dry with lasting bittering and citrus into the aftertaste. A good beer which would be better if it wasn’t oxidized. Pint at the brewpub.
