Drinking this at my favorite Tap Room, Tapped in Greenville NC.
Poured from a tap into a pint glass.
Looks light amber with a nice white foamy head that lasted.
Smells citrusy, grapefruit, orange and a little pine.
Taste follows the nose nicely.
Mouth feel is medium plus for the style.
Overall a very nice East Coast IPA that I would definitely order again.
Cheers!

Great beer, great taste. Has a hint of coffee flavor. Descent amount of kick to go with. Better on tap, recommended drink or of glass.

On tap at Memphis BBQ in Fayetteville, served in standard pint glass. True east-coast style IPA...more malt than hop. The color was darker copper with a slight head. Aroma was definite IPA, revealing citrus notes of what I imagine being centennial and/or columbus hops. That said, I wouldn't search this out, but wouldn't turn one down either.

Good if you just want a beer. Not much on hop taste, pretty plain.

Poured on-tap at Mac's Speed Shop in Fayetteville. Served in a shaker pint, the beer is a hazy, opaque, copper coloring with a dense, foamy, clingy, light cream colored head. The glass gets coated nicely as you drink. Nose of citrus and spice forward, with lemon and grapefruit accented by pine, pepper, and grass notes. Some pitchy, resinous notes, too. Flavors are light and refreshing, with a solid caramel backbone supporting a citrus blend of tangerine and grapefruit, some pepper spice, and a solid bitterness. Balanced and tasty. Smooth, yet light, with a slightly effervesced endfeel. The aftertaste is tangy and tart citrus, with a bitter linger. Solid IPA.
