The boys from the Foothills Brewery in Winny Sal nailed this one. Though a little too carbonated for my taste, it has a flavor that will knock your socks off. Can down a couple and not feel weighed down.

Look: Hazy dark orange with an off white head. Head retention is good.
Smell: There are aromas of stone fruit with apricot being a bit more forward than peach.
Taste: It has a strong stone fruit hop forward flavor with plenty of peach and apricot. There is some grainy sweetness to is and a bit of floral as well.
Feel: It has a medium full body. The aftertaste is long lasting with a high bitterness, but not harsh.
Overall: A stone fruit dominated beer with good bitterness, yet fairly easy drinking.

A rather nice double IPA. A little light compared to its weight class, but much more palatable (for me anyway).

The amber body was cloudy, and had a one finger thick head. The aroma was piney, spicy, and a bit boozy. The taste was quite bitter, giving off vibes of mango, peach, and citrus peel. The feel was very dry, but aftertaste was a bit flat. Glad I picked this up while in Charlotte.

Excellent beer, dangerously drinkable at 9.5% abv. Better from the tap than the bottle. Highly recommended.
