"Big & Juicy Eureka." "India Pale Ale Dry Hopped with Eureka."
8.10% ABV.
Brief impressions from a 12 fl oz served into a nonic pint:
APPEARANCE: Filtered dull copper body. White somewhat frothy cap.
AROMA: Floral and redolent of artificial pine, with caramalt or crystal malt lending heavy sweetness for the style. Suggests an underhopped imbalanced brew with a disinteresting hop profile.
Aromatic intensity is average.
TASTE: Heavy malty sweetness - way outside style conventions. Vague fruit creamsicle. Faint artificial pine sap. Floral flavour.
Imbalanced and dull hopwise, lacking any interesting pungent hop flavours. Pretty mediocre, to be honest.
TEXTURE: Smooth, wet, medium-bodied, moderately heavy on the palate, overcarbonated, unrefreshing. Has too much body given the relative lack of depth of hop flavour to showcase. Should be lighter and softer, but it's not boozy or astringent or anything.
OVERALL: Forgettable fare from "Mississippi's Oldest Brewery." In the contemporary market, you've really got to bring something special to the table to compete even with widely available expressions of this oversaturated style. Eureka is an interesting enough hop to bring to an IPA, but let's try actually using it for flavour instead of mere dry-hopping. Not that that would fix this beer's imbalance issues...

Pours a hazed bronze with 2 fingers of hazed cream colored head. Average head retention & lacing
S: Catty, slight breadyness
T: Follows the nose, some bready sweetness too, some mango too up front. More bready sweetness, dryness & cattyness as this warms< Finishes catty, with a little bready sweetness & a little pineapple & orange peel
MF: Fairly chewy, slight carbonation, pretty good balance
Drinks easy, a decent take on the style

Poured a clear, golden color with a small, short-lived head. It smelled grassy and floral with a touch of pine. Tasted of sweet caramel, pine and spicy hops.

I tell you what friend. I haven't logged in to my old account in so long 'cause I've found nothing this special in a long bunch of years.
This beer, of so many to count, is the mecca of the hop/malt balance we beer snobs die for.
Well ladies and gentlemen, I have finally found something worthy of the cause.
Pours a gorgeous orange.
Smells cold grey rain, honeysuckle and over ripe peaches.
Taste like a fiasco of hop dive bomb spelunking through your throat, following with Sir Awesome (Rico Suave) Malt. Like you just knew this was what you were looking for all your life.
Feels better than sex in your mouth with like liquid pine tree sap in a bouquet of rose water.
Get this, if you can, and you will NEVER FORGET!

Well I will get this party started! Very new addition to our local offerings here in MS. Freshness is one of the key factors in any craft beer's overall score, and this is some of the freshest brew on the shelf currently.
No appearance of sediment in the pour, aroma is that of hops and a bit of malt. Tastes like a chewy IPA, though it is described here as a DIPA. Mouthfeel is oily with body as just mentioned.
Overall a very nice addition to the beer scene here in Mississippi. Worthy of tasting, and keeping on hand. LM knows what they are doing, and they have led the charge here in advancing craft culture in the deep south.
