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.

Yes! Dank, piney and hopalicious. Beautiful body, semi hazey amber colour with a big white head. Hops, grapefruit and lime on the nose. Very floral all the way through. Flavours are delightfully hoppy, with soft citrus notes and a chewy finish. Awesome well balanced IPA, delightful in every way. Thanks Louis!

Orange with a white head. Messy palate, in a good way. Very earthy, flavors and aroma, and resieny hop finish. enough malt to let you know it is there, but not obtrusive. long aftertaste. pretty good.

12oz bottle. Deep orange amber color. Off-white foamy head. Complex hop aroma. Some citrus, some pine, nice florals. Lots of hops in the nose. flavor is a big hop bite. A beer from SC that reminds me of Portland, OR! Nice grapefruit, decent malt. Some caramel malt flavor, mostly hops. Medium bodied. Nice pregame warmup for the hop heads. The South will rise again!

Most of the Thomas Creek beers fail to excite me, although they typically brew very drinkable beers. This one surprised me though. Pours a clear amber. The aroma is big piney hops. Aggressive bitterness. Just enough malt. Surprisingly aggressive beer.

Bottle. The blushing gold beer leans towards copper. Short soapsud head. Intruiging hop aromas of orange and chamomille, piney grapefruit, and… cocoa? Unmistakable musty Fuggles leap out but don’t overpower. Crackery malt flavor abounds with sharply citric lupulin goodness. A bit of toffee. Light-bodied. Crisp finish and lingering bitter resiny/earthy aftertaste. A straightforward American IPA. Thomas Creek joins the short list of craft brewers that aren’t afraid of hops. Well done!
