On draft at Carolina Ale House, Charlotte, NC.
Poured a medium brass hue with a one finger frothy white head. There was very good retention and sticky lacing.
The smell featured heavy piney hops and a light caramel.
The taste was totally hop driven with an assault of pine and citrus.
The mouthfeel was a touch thin with a nice residual spiciness.
Overall a tasty hop forward ale.

Pours a big three plus finger head of eggshell white, very airy and whipped up, dimples some as it dissolves off, good mixture of small and moderate bubble sizes, lacing sticks in thicker streaks, retention overall is very good. Very clear brownish amber colored liquid, metallic orange rims, on the whole darker than one might expect. The nose spreads out casually, emphasizes tangerine, orange, pink grapefruit citrus while not getting that sweet, touch of honeyed bread, more fresh flowers and cocoa and then ripe peach, apricot fruit, strong grassy and piney hops for spine while staying mellow. Close to full-bodied, fluffy without being too soft, here the hops really cut right into the middle of things, herbaceous and almost close to tree bark and earth. The cocoa to mocha percolates underneath the tangerine, orange citrus, the latter sweet but not sugary. Steady peach, apple, apricot fruit supports well. The carbonation is maybe a bit heavy handed, could pull back some. More dough and pastry flakes than bread or pretzel dough. Light saltiness. Bright finish that extends things nicely. Pushing from APA into IPA territory but stays within bounds. Has personality.
