12oz. brown bottle. Freshness notched on label.

A: Pours a deep amber with a large forming white head. Good + head retention. Lacing is sticky up near head then turns slick down the glass.

S: An interesting mixture of malts and citrus stuff. Hops come in a bit but are small.

T/M: The beer goes down smooth and feels pretty crisp. I'd say medium bodied and refreshing. Orange peel and citric tasting hops. Not overly hoppy like other IPA's, yet the bitterness is on the higher side.

O: An easy to drink east coast IPA. Less hops means less taste for this beer. But since it's so easy to drink with adequate taste I could have a bunch at a time.

Cheers!

Had a couple bottles tonight at Pour Richards restaurant in Bluffton, SC. 12 oz. bottle poured into a pint glass. Slightly hazy amber body with bit of orange tint. One-finger white head that leaves solid lacing.

Relatively weak aroma. A bit of grapefruit citrus and light caramel malt.

The flavor is a bit better than the aroma and has solid citrus and pine notes. Good balance of caramel malt make for a solid east coast IPA.

Medium texture in the mouthfeel and very drinkable. Solid IPA overall.

Got this as a gift... and i think its pretty solid ipa... love the dark rich amber body. Really comes out with lovely malt flavors. Not west coast by any means. Like a hoppy amber ale, citrus and caramel. Very balanced. Nice head retention and good carbonation. Would drink this like crazy if i was a local. Nice overall beer
