Bottle courtesy of lithy. Pours copper with a nice white head. Smells of wildflowers, citrus, caramel, earthy. Tastes of nuts, caramel, citrus, light spice. Nice touch of bitterness on the finish.

12 oa bottle orange-gold color with off white head. SLightly malty, subtle hop aroma. Good balance throughout with a touch of malt sweetness in the finish.

12 oz. Clear copper with an inch of lasting cream. Frosty icing all over the glass. Aroma is earthy tea leaf, toasted pecan and molasses with some citrus touches. Flavor is similar but with some chocolate, honeycomb, ginger, more lemon-grapefruit, and a nutty-resin bitterness throughout. Near-medium body is smoothish, dry and slightly watery in a nice drinkable way. Nice, balanced session IPA.

Gold pour with a small white head. Subtle hop nose, vaguely citrusy. Hoppy flavor with some malt backing it up. An okay IPA overall, but really not remarkable.

Bottle. Not my favorite Thomas Creek. Others much better. Light gold color. Taste was hoppy, but in a pleasant way. Not real bitter. Get for a time or two.

Another I tasted at the Classis City brew fest. I didn’t write much on the thomas creek selections, but this one was the most lengthy of them all - "bitter but bland". I guess that sums it up.

On tap at the Durham WBF. Clear gold with a white head. Nice lace. Citrusy and earthy with a mild caramel sweetness. Medium-full bodied. Good.

On tap at WBF in Durham, NC. This is a nice, yet simple, american ipa. Hops are much more subdued than I like in both the nose and flavor. Refreshing, but not bursting with flavor.
