Beer Review by Beer Advocate
Appearance - Nice dark straw color with a great white head with
tight bubbles. Great frothy lacing.
Aroma - Grassy hop aroma with some malty sweetness.
Taste - The taste is much like the smell. Grassy hops and a malt
backbone that imparts a good amount of sweetness to it. Good
bitterness after the taste.
Mouthfeel - Very good. Right down the middle of thin and thick. Has
a little bit to chew on, but not enough at the same time.
Overall - I have to say this is a very good IPA. Very easy to drink.
If Fullsteam was closer, I would drink this all the time. I will
have to find out more about this brewery.
Fullsteam Brewery
In the past few years, North Carolina’s beer selection has
flourished with beers around the world: Belgian dubbels, tripels,
and quads; English bitters and barleywine, German lagers. Amazing
craft beer from US breweries establishing regional traditions and
styles: the West Coast IPA phenomenon. Hearty Wisconsin lagers.
Experimental beers from the Northeast.
But we have yet to develop a Southern craft beer identity.
Fullsteam’s mission is to craft this identity. To create a
distinctly Southern beer style that celebrates the culinary and
agricultural heritage of the South.
Fullsteam’s owner and Chief Executive Optimist
Sean Lilly Wilson founded and led both Pop The Cap and Permit Beer,
two beer lobbying organizations that have opened up economic markets
to North Carolina’s craft beer industry. He holds both an MBA and
Master of Public Policy from Duke University. Sean has ten years
restaurant experience, including three years at Durham’s renowned
Magnolia Grill.
