Draft sample at brewpub -Pardo.
Poured a clear dark copper color with an average fizzy off-white head that mostly lasted with excellent lacing. Moderate to heavy citrus, earthy and small malt aroma. Medium to full body with a slick texture and soft carbonation. Medium to heavy bittersweet flavor with a medium to heavy bittersweet finish of moderate to long duration.
My expectations where met and this is a standout beer.
4.1 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
On tap at 5 Seasons. Poured clear medium amber with a creamy cap of off-white head. The aroma was resiny and juicy with pine sap, grapefruit, and floral notes most prevalent.. caramel and some dark fruit backed the hops well. The flavor had rich, alcohol-spiked caramel and bready notes at the core with the same assertive hoppage around (pine and grapefruit more than others).. spicy, warmer finish. Medium-plus bodied with ideal carbonation on the palate.. spicy, bitter, and engaging. Excellent brew!
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Reddish copper, clear with small white head. Juicy sweet malt background with a crisp, pine-forward hop aroma. Low carbonation and a slick and slightly oily mouthfeel. Not orgasmic, but good!
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Draft pint at the Prado brewpub. Beauty of a pour ... Deep muddy orange with a solid pile of foam to top it off. With the first whiff, you know the name is no gimmic ... There’s a ton o’ hops jammed in this. Thick and viscuous, this drinks with a punch to the gut, rich with citric hops and a full up malt basis. Very nice.

Clear beautiful deep red with a fizzy off white head. Earthy citrus and skunk hops aroma with a resiny brassy citrus taste a good bitterness and caramel to the finish.
