Got the Marietta IPA on-tap at The Union in Athens, OH.

Appearance: good, white foamy head, 1" off the tap; dark copper color
Smell: awesome, fresh hops
Taste: at first it was really good, but I got a little sick of the hops toward the end; kind of dry; nonetheless, a good IPA taste
Mouthfeel: kind of a sticky head that hangs around; other than that, it was pretty good
Drinkability: not the strength of this beer; after I finished this one, I didn't want another, you get a little bit tired of all the hoppiness

Sampled from a growler.

Nice copper body topped by a really thin head. Carbonation was also a bit low. Citrus aroma was very noticeable, but there was a hint of floral sweetness underneath. There seems to be a lot of malt sweetness in the flavor, and not quite enough bitterness to really balance it out well. However, some friends that typicaly drink macros thought it was pretty smooth, so the balance may be intentiaonally shifted to the malt side. Just not hoppy enough for me. Mouthfeel was a bit heavy, most likely better carbonation would help that out. Drinkabilkity was actually pretty good. The growler disappeared very quickly.
