Considering the name I was expecting more hops, but that said it ended up not being too much of a dissapointment. It was one of my last beers on a South Carolina/Georgia tour and it was a great way to finish.
Ap: Poured clear, slightly dark amber color. Good head that retained extremely well.
Ar: A good smell with one of the better hop smells shining through. A slight smell of caramel seemed to be present.
F: Great. Was expecting an overpowering taste and at first was dissapointed (more surprised) after I got over that it was a quick jump to the top of the hill. A good malty taste made the balancing complete on the fine IPA.
P: A smoother taste. The hops provided the right bite and aftertaste.
O: Very good, I switched off this to try something new. Wish I had not, will definately be seeing this beer again!
In summary not one for an extreme hop head, maybe what a hop head would drink when they want a lighter beer for a change.

Dec 16, 2009 An amber hop monster. Loads of citric hops: lemon, pine, orange and grape but the malts are present too - althoug weakly. Very bitter, and very potent!

Dec 15, 2009 12oz bottle. This is a great IPA. Very hoppy, very bitter and very, very tasty. The aroma is pleasant with hints of citrus and you can taste the citrus on the hops as well. Real well made and truly a balanced flavorful brew.

Dec 15, 2009 On Tap in Philly. Pours a deep amber color with little white head that disappears quickly and almost no lacing. I am not a IPA fan, but this one is pretty good. The taste is dominated by aromatic floral hops taste with a hint of hop bitterness. The taste is bold and this is the best IPA I have had, so I would have it again, but I wouldn’t seek this out.

Dec 13, 2009 Hazy orange color with a meium white head that disappears quickly and leaves little lacing.
Citrus nose with some banana and black pepper.
Immediate hops, but not overwhelming; nicely balanced.
Good body, more than most IPAs.
Decent brew, tasty enough to go back for more.

Dec 13, 2009 Was served this at a Christmas party and was not offered a glass, therefore I can not comment very well on it’s aroma and appearance. The main things that stood out were the flavors of orange peel and the bitterness from the hops. A very enjoyable IPA.

Dec 6, 2009 Bottle Thanks to CaptainCougar. Pours light amber color with little off white head that did not retain long. The Aroma is very soft, not much there maybe a little citrus. Then you take a drink and your hit with a spicy and bitter palate that is very delicious. Hops definitely abundant, and in a very good way. Glad to have this one

Dec 6, 2009 Yes, good. I would say it’s even the standard of IP A in the States, even over Dogfish. Go. Buy. Quaff. Enjoy.
