4.4 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 19/20
12 oz bottle. Yes, this beer lives up to its rating, at least when it is as fresh (bottled just 23 days ago) as this beer is. The most amazing aspect of this beer is the aroma that hits you when you pop open the top. Pours a light amber color with a quickly ending head. The honey does an excellent job of taking the edge off of the hops, without any sort of cloying sweetness whatsoever. The floral notes on this beer are unbelievable. On a couple sips the high alcohol lurking in the background was discernible, but for the most part the 10% is well hidden. I actually wish the ABV was lower so I could have another.....

Draft. Clear amber, gold color. Fresh hoppy nose. When it hits the tongue, I feel like it is going to be hoppy, but its not super hoppy. Then my tongue says it is going to be sweet, but it is only slightly sweet. The the tongue waits for bitterness, but it is not bitter. It tastes, hoppy, bitter, and sweet, but it doesn’t. If I had to describe the taste in a one word: FRESH.

Ok. I’m a believer. On tap. Hops. Hops. Hops. A remarklably drinkable 10% beer. The overall impression is of grapefruit. Grapefruit on the nose, grapefruit and citrus on the palate and a grapefruit finish. The honey provides a perfect balance to the hops. Again, a remarkably drinkable beer.

Huge nose of Citrus/Grapefruit/Cat Pee hops. Maybe a bit of herby malts in the background. Pours golden orange, skinny, white head that doesn’t last long, but leaves a nice lace. First sip is much sweeter than anticipated, and a bit dense on the palate, but is quickly balanced by hop bitters. As some have already stated, it could possibly be considered a bit syrupy, but I think it’s mild & I don’t mind. Carbonation is full of tiny bubbles, added with the ABV leaves a little bite on the tongue. It’s not quite as complex as it could be, abut it’s done absolutely fantastically. Goes well with Little Caesars Crazy Bread.

I don’t under stand why so many people like this beer. It’s average beer. There is a lot better beers out there.

Bottle. Just as described. Crazy bitter. Silly hopped. And I loved it. The aroma was a straight floral hop. I couldn’t pick up any honey on the scent, just hops. The appearance was a crystal clear dark orange with a white head, half inch, that settled slowly into a white ring and thick lacing. The medium bodied palate finished mildly sticky, and taste was like eating a handful of flowers. Exactly as advertised. Bitter, floral hop that bites with only the faintest hint of honey before a blast of bitter hop aftertaste. Delicious.

Pours from the tap a clear, lively carbonated golden with moderate, creamy head that sustains itself. Moderate bitterness with fresh hops up front. Hints of pineapple. Very well balanced, especially given the high gravity of this beer. Fantastic brew.
