On tap at the LAB and same as it ever was.
Poured in a pint glass. A foggy orange with a full dirty white head that hung for a good minute. Almost no smell just a hint of orange. The first sip goes down smooth too easy with no bitterness, unfortunately. As it settles down your throat the hops start to make their precense known on the back but strong.
Second sip still no smell, bit of a resin feel on the tongue now, hops hitting the tip of the mouth too.
Overall an average IPA.

Growler gifted to me, one step closer to drinking an IPA from every brewery in the country that has one. Here is goes, not a great beer but it is decent. I would try it again on draft.

Beer is dark, almost brown, amber with a nice off white head, small bubbles, some lacing, moderate to low carbonation.

Aroma is earthy, piny, sweet.

Beer is medium in body, a little bitter on the end..overall a decent IPA but it is a little too bland. I don't know how to put it other than there wasn't enough of anything to be really good. More hops please, this is an IPA afterall.

On draft at the brewery.

Poured a hazy burnt orange hue with a half finger foy white head. There was decent retention and good lacing.

The smell featured muted tropical fruits and a heavy caramel malt.

The hops were tropical in nature and left a soapy aftertaste. The malts were present and slightly sweet, but finished dry.

Overall a subpar IPA. Certainly not Asheville's finest.

Creamy honey gold pour. Very thick looking glass of beer. 1/2 finger standard cream head and great lacing.

Nose is light cream and light citrus hops. Weaker than I had hoped.

Good citrus right up front, with a smooth and sweet finish. Very creamy body, creamiest IPA I've had in a while.

Looking forward to trying this again.

On-tap in a shaker pint. A cloudy dark amber with thin white head, spotty lace left behind. Smell: leafy, raw, lightly spicy. Taste: tea, lemon, leafy. Light caramel and some watery pineapple juice. Bitterness is there but a bit fleeting at 45 ibus. An average east coast / NC IPA.

Served at the brewpub from tap into a sampler shaker. Poured yellow-orange with a one finger slightly off-white head that subsided to a minimal amount quite quickly. Maintained phenomenal lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt and citrus hop. The flavor was of sweet malt, citrus hop, and slight cream. It had a medium feel on the palate with mild carbonation. Overall this was a pretty nice IPA. It was nicely balanced and light. It was advertised at 84 IBUs but I don't think they all showed up for the party. It had a good aroma but it was fairly weak in intensity. This is a must try if you are in the area.

a: standard half-pint glass, the beer is a hazy orange-golden color, lots of white head with good retention, nice lace

s: first up on the nose is a pungent floral honeysuckle aroma - weird and a bit distracting, very perfumey, pale malt structure and some powdery yeast, grassy citrus aromas

m: carbonation medium-high, body light-medium

t: pale malt body of a moderate sweetness, flavors of honeysuckle, not sure if that's a hop contribution or what, some grass and citrus, bitterness levels around moderate, perfume lingering in the aftertaste

d: not really digging the floral side of this ipa - it's almost cloyingly so, especially on the nose, glad to not have full pint
