Pours clear, gold in color with one inch head. Taste is piney hops and honeydew melon with light peach. Medium light bodied, moderate carbonation, slightly bitter. Nicely flavored, easy to drink ipa.

LOOK: Clear, bright, light amber color with a 2 finger all white head that also shows some solid side glass lace, along with plenty of rising carbonation. The head retention maintained throughout and the side glass appearance only enhanced.
AROMA: Lots of melon and a touch of spicy hops and dank pine.
TASTE: Seemed to get better with each subsequent sip. Nice balance with a smooth tropical and melon flavors and dank mildly tart hops.
Overall this brew just improved from first sip till completion.

Tall can from the Wall of Beer in Clemson, SC.
Appearance. Crystal clear amber colored body with a fine, moderately large white head.
This is a mainstream, clean, moderately bitter IPA. As reflected in my ratings of the aroma and "taste" equal ratings, I found the aroma to be a little bit better.

I was a little disappointed with this IPA. While it’s drinkable and refreshing, for a 6.6 ABV ale, there’s not a lot of flavorful punch here. The tropical flavors taste watered down to me. Pretty average IPA in a crowded field.

Look - 12 oz can, purchased from the brewery. poured into a small clear plastic cup. light golden in color, slightly hazy, large two finger head with moderate lacing retention.
Smell - primarily citrus with some light candy-like sweetness and floral undertones.
Taste - predominantly citrus and some malts at the start, followed by mellow hoppy bitterness accompanied by the malts that lead to a smooth and overall clean finish.
Feel - medium bodied, above average carbonation, and standard in ABV for the style at 6.6%.
Overall - a lighter hazy IPA that is decent and tasty, but not particularly remarkable given the crowded field.

On draught, pours a deep golden color with a nice foamy head. Random lacing on the way down.
Mellow pine, and mild citrus flavors dominate. Malty sweetness lays nicely on the tongue, a hint of grape flavor among the various citrusy flavors.
Nicely hopped, pleasant bitterness and tang on the finish. Nicely carbonated.
A pleasantly mild AIPA, not over the top. Enjoyable and drinkable.
