areyouinning (72), North Carolina, USA Sep 9, 2009 Light orange/ copper ale with low sedimentation and carbonation. Somewhat citrus, mildly hoppy aroma. Unbalanced, oxidized flavor. TURDFERGUSON (1594), Carrboro, North Carolina, USA Sep 8, 2009 Bottle shared by ucusty. Smells like an aged oxidized ipa. Faded hops can be noted in the flavor but again, this beer is pretty done. Oily mouthfeel. durhambeer (1186), Durham, USA Sep 4, 2009 Bottle shared by the crusty one--I mean ucusty. Not amazingly hoppy for an IPA. Wonder if this is old. Some pine and sweet malt. Sort of earthy/herby. Oxidized, I think, so probably past its prime. ucusty (1871), Wake Forest, North Carolina, USA Sep 3, 2009 Pale copper pour with a slight haze. Thin off white head and spotty lace. Faded piney aroma. Herbal notes, faded hops and oxidation. emacgee (1859), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA Sep 1, 2009 Shared by ucusty. Pours a soft pale copper with a one finger white head. The nose shows some age and deterioration as a result. Oxidized, heavy on the malt, some piny herbal hop character. The flavor is sweet and malty, bready, mild bitterness, not much distinguishable hop character. Palate is mildly bitter. PhillyBeer2112 (2084), Orange Park, Florida, USA Aug 9, 2009 Hazy copper, medium head. Aroma was citric with grapefruit and lemon rind. Balanced with a resiny hop over bready and honeyed malts. Balanced easy finish. A bit unrefined, even homebrewish, but drinkable. ben4321 (952), Rockville, Maryland, USA Jul 24, 2009 Updated: Jul 25, 2009Location: 22 oz bottle from Total Wine - Richmond, 7/24/09
Aroma: Citrus & earthy hops, a bit of caramel
Appearance: Pours a a nice clear orange-amber color, 1/2 inch of white head
Flavor: Both sweet and bitter, a nice balanced IPA, nice bitter finish
Palate: Medium to full body, and sort of dry
Overall Impression:
I like this one, it is a pretty tasty IPA. You could qualm with this one by saying it doesn’t hit all of the styles general qualities, but it is pretty darn tasty. A nice IPA, plus, it has the name of my birth city in it’s name, so I can’t argue with that! I’m a bit surprised this is rated as low as it is, I thought it was pretty tasty.
kenb (1100), Oregon, USA Jul 15, 2009 22oz bottle via Secret Santa Summer 2009-Pours a clear amber with a large beige head. Nose is mild..not much happening... lemony and alcoholic. Taste is tea (crystal malts), some toffee, orange, lemon, pine and grassy hops. Body is light, carbonation is medium. A bit thin. An almost average IPA.
