2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. It’s a clear, amber beer with a cask-sized off-white head. Hops dominates the aroma, with a metallic touch and some caramel. A hint of cellar too. The flavor has a nice bitterness, citrus peel, and some malts. Medium body, pleasant carbonation. The end is mostly bitter, but with a high level of metal, quite annoying. Overall, sure drinkable, but not very interesting, and way too metallic, all the way. 110319
