Tried this on tap at Cigar City and liked it. I'm generally not an IPA enthusiast but this has enough malty sweetness that I'll forgive it for being an IPA. It's a good way to enter into the world of hoppy beers if they aren't usually your bag.
Very impressed with the Cigar City beers. I'm hoping to get down to Florida to try some of these on tap!
