2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20

3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Serving glass: Poured from bottle into Nonic Imperial Pint.
Appearance: Clear copper-gold with thin off-white head. No lacing.
Aroma: Cherry, caramel, and spicy & floral hops. Smells more like a Vienna Lager with a touch of citrus.
Taste: Very malty, semi-sweet, with cherry, toast, apple and caramel. The light hop counterbalance cuts the sweetness with spicy, floral and citrusy hops. Aftertaste has a strange sharpness to it.
Palate: Moderately high carbonation, light to medium body, fairly dry finish. Feels a little spritzy.
Overall: If it wasn’t for the aftertaste, this would have been a fairly decent ale. As is, meh.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Poured a clear light gold color with a thick head that faded to a thin coating quickly, no lace. Body seemed to have a little more carbonation to bubbles rose up from the middle long after I poured. Aroma had a nice floral hop note and some bread like malts. Flavor seemed a little lacking. Slightly bitter hops with no real balance from the malts. Body was a little thin.

Bottle. Beer of the month club. Clear amber color with a medium white head. Fresh citric hops aroma with some nice biscuity malt notes.
