This medium-bodied American IPA is hopped to perfection. The slightly sweet malt backbone is balanced by aromatic floral, citrus peel and pine.
It's the eight-oh-three from SC, the IPA from Cola way - it's so good, it makes water thirsty.

a free bit of unsought and unwanted advice: don't tell your Dad you drank his last River Rat eight-oh-three - he'll have your guts for garters, and we all know how that feels
The Beer Can section is a virtual homage to the American beer-can collecting craze of the 1970s. The rise of thousands of microbreweries have made 'dump scouring' or digging for old beer cans in the woods and abandoned campgrounds a thing of the past. The thousands of young men who could pick up a can in any vacant lot when the hobby was at its zenith in the 1970s have grown up - but fortunately may now find hundreds of colorful cans (full of good brew) within mere miles of their homes.
