Oct 12, 2008 Twelve ounce bottle with "enjoy by" date, pours a mostly clear amber orange body with a tall offwhite head. Lavish patchy lacing is left on the glass. Aroma is citrusy hops, with distinct notes of apricot and ruby red grapefruit. Undertones of caramel. Medium body and carbonation with some hop oiliness. Taste has lots of citrusy hop bitterness, but not overdone. Caramel malt adds ideal balance. A leafy cannabis/cat urine hop note is present that I’ve noticed before only in Bells Hop Slam. Maybe the best southern IPA I’ve had. Glad I can find this one locally.

Oct 5, 2008 bottle poured into a pint glass. i was pleasantly surprised by this one. pours a cloudy orange with almost no head. aroma jumps out of the glass and is very pleasant with sweet floral hops, some citrus, a bit of cinnamon, and some biscuity malt. flavor is a nice balance between bitter hops and malt. some sweet flavors come through on the back end. palate is not as bitter as many IPA’s but smooth and easy to drink. not a bad beer at all.

Oct 3, 2008 12 oz bottle poured deep orange and almost golden in color with a creamy white head. Great citrus aroma (mostly grapefruit, but some lime and lemon) and some pine resin in there too. Slight sweet taste with honey and some biscuit/bready in the body. Not overpowering bitterness. Nice bitter to match the malt. Very nice IPA. Different from many of the hop bombs you see today.
