Apr 20, 2008 Bottle from robbmotiwalla. Thanks!
Pours an attractive medium to rich amber with an offwhite head that hangs around for a bit. Smell is fruity and earthy hops. Perhaps some light citrusy quality. Flavor is thin and mildly bittered up front, while the body is average. Light malt backing and it needed more hops for my taste. Kind of hop tea like, I thought. Not bad, but not one of my preferred IPAs.

Apr 10, 2008 12oz from ucusty - thanks, David! Man, this one goes down smooth on the first hottish day of the year. I believe this is my first Sweetwater brew to boot. At any rate, this is a really solid IPA with a nice honey smell in the nose to complement the floral qualities. Full but not cloying, sweet but not slick, this is a lively citrus-heavy brew that would be a major session favorite if it were available locally.

Apr 8, 2008 Draft at Atlanta airport location. Poured a clear amber color with a large frothy white head that mostly lasted with excellent lacing. Moderate floral tart citrus aroma. Medium body with slick texture. Heavy bittersweet flavor with a heavy bittersweet finish of long duration. This is a standout drinkable brew.

Mar 28, 2008 12oz bottle. Quite floral on the nose. Pleasant cranberry and blackberry on pastry notes. Mild citrus bitterness. Pours a nice clear copper. Decently bitter with some orange and grapefruit zest up front with toasted biscuity malt on the backside. Medium bodied. Lively carbonation. Crisp and very refreshing. A nice IPA. Thanks Matt!

Mar 23, 2008 Strong smell of hops. Surprising for Georgia. Well balanced. Nice aroma. Much better than other Sweetwaters.

Mar 15, 2008 12 ounce bottle- has a pleasant melon/fruit aroma. Poured a very attractive deep goleden color and clear. Thin to no head. Taste was sharp with a little fruitiness, almost too sweet.

Mar 8, 2008 Bottle from Ucusty. Orange colored with a nice foamy white head that lasted for quite a while. Smells like a wonderful IPA. I couldn’t wait to try this one. Taste has a very nice malt presence and has a very nice hop finish that keeps me wanting more. Great brew.
