Feb 17, 2008 Growler from Bruisin’ Ales, Asheville. Pours a deep clear amber-orange with a small but lingering white head. Nose is strong citrus, shades of lemongrass and orange, some mild pale malt sweetness. Body is a bit thin but the hops come through nice and sweet, with strong tangerine character. Ends with a nice solid leafy hop presence. A rather potable IPA.

Nov 1, 2007 Growler, courtesy of Schutzenliesel. Hazy light amber body with a small off-white cover. The nose is tea, caramel, tangerine and grapefruit. The flavor is fairly sweet and floral with cotton candy, caramel and grapefruit. Medium body is soft with light carbonation.

Sep 6, 2007 A dark orange IPA. A lot darker and heavier then I expected. A consistent hoppy character for an IPA, but I wasn’t really impressed.

clear copper, frothy cream head, nice scattered lace, citrus hop aroma, very creamy body, lots of great hop flavor with good citrus character, good balancing malt with a touch of sweetness, light bitter finish, it’s all about the hop flavor making a great drinkable IPA
