on tap-pours a retaining off white head and hazy yellow/gold color. Aroma is nice citrus/pine hops. Taste is nice citrus/pine hops-some bitter, faint medium malt-some sweet. Semi-dry finish. OK carbonation.

The best beer of the bunch, but the more I had, the less I liked it. I think a lot people may have only had the sampler and thus overrated it. IT truel y got worse as it went on, IMO. It had a nice enough head, which was the only thiing from keeping this a 2 in appearance as it looked almost like a hefe with hazy hues and light colors. Not what an IPA shoudl look like. The aroma wasn’t bad. A lot like an American IPA should, citrus, grapefruit, pine, floral. The flavor was good, but like I said seemed to lesen over the pint.

On draught at Max Lager’s on P-tree. Nice light golden-amber appearance with virtually no crown and light lacing. Aroma is very prominent with citrus hops, moreso than the Imperial IPA they had on tap. Nice bitterness throughout and nice hoppy finish. Good subtle malt backbone provides a nice balance between the hops. Mildly carbonated and overall a very drinkable and enjoyable beer. It would be great with some white or common fish.

tap at ewery. top ten in atlanta isn’t saying much if this is in it. straw color pour. hop and grapefruit. too much fruit. As I found with many of their beers the finish is too tart.
