DrBayern (879), Morehead City, North Carolina, USA Apr 21, 2008 12 oz. bottle on 44/16/2008. Clear gold pour, medium white head. Toffee and some light citrus aroma, not overpowering but inviting. Clean on the palate with a medium body and carbonation to match. Good balance, and welcome and refreshing dry finish. A pretty standard APA, easily drinkable and refreshing. Nice session beer.
Breworthy (7), USA does not count Jul 8, 2008 The aroma is quite excellent, as the complexities of the spicy hop aroma come through to balance out the smell of the malt.
The appearance is a little too clear for my tastes, that is for the style. Although it is a fine looking beer with excellent retention.
The flavor is quite nice, full hop flavor, but not overboard, placing it well within the pale category without over-stepping its bounds. Clean finish, despite its higher IBU.
This pale sits well on your palate, but is a bit on the heavy side. Nice effervescence.
Overall, the beer is quite good. I would recommend this pale and think it is great that I was able to pick one up in Nashville. If you keep making more beer like this, please keep branching out of Atlanta, Sweetwater. derekbang (61), Indiana, USA Jul 7, 2008 I couldn’t bring myself to drink all of this. SweetWATER is appropriate because it seemed more like water than beer. Little flavor and just really watery. jzzbassman (657), New Albany, Mississippi, USA Jul 7, 2008 Draft, very light pour. Hoppy would really be descriptive most in the aroma. Flavor has a nice malt character with a longer than usual sweet finish. Hints of popcorn Butters (227), Richmond, Virginia, USA Jul 5, 2008 On draft at the Sweetwater Taphouse in the Atlanta International Airport. Clear golden pour. Great floral hop nose. Piney hop resin flavor. Hop bitter finish. Baggie (8), , Nebraska, USA does not count Jun 28, 2008 Bottle, pours golden with a nice white head. Citrus aroma with smooth hops. A crisp brew that I would have again.
