I got a can of this from a beer store in Atlanta just before my appendix went cray cray. It poured a hazy orangish with white head that is not leaving much lace. The can was overprimed and thus affected both scent and taste....from what I could get was bitter pine flare in both scent and taste. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with big carbonation. Overall it's an ok beer.

This beer was obtained from the brewery in Franklin NC and given to me as a gift. A slightly hazy amber color with a thin white lacy head. The smell is subdued but definitely an IPA; Crisp mouthfeel with moderate carbonation; Flavor is richly hoppy, mildly bitter.

12 oz can with no obvious canning date from the Wall of Beer (Clemson, SC).
Pours golden and lightly hazy with a very tiny visible carbonation bubbles rising to a moderate size, creamy white head. Good retention and excellent lacing.
The aroma reflects moderate+ strength for style and carries pine and tropical fruit notes. The flavor brings out more bready grains, less pine and plenty of hops, but with less strength than the aroma suggests. Medium-mild bitterness for style. Harmonious with very good balance.

Poured from a 12 OZ can into a pint glass. The appearance is a slightly cloudy amber color with a medium sized white head. The aroma is pint hops. The taste matches the nose.

Killer IPA has enough malt back bone to balance out the hops, but still plenty hoppy enough.
