5 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 20/20
(12 oz. bottle). Pours an orange liquid with a nice chunky off-white head. Aroma is of honey sweetness and beautiful citrus. It doesn’t get better than this! Very bitter up front, but the honey smoothes things out pretty quickly to provide an incredible balance to such a hoppy beer. The finish is bitter, but pleasant and the alcohol is hidden quite well. This is about as good a beer as you’ll find. It saddens me that this is my last one until next season.

Golden orange fizzy pour white head ... lacing a citrusy hop and honey aroma .... lots of grapefruity taste ... honey and citrusy with a spice to it ..... finishes with a spicy hop lingering finish ..... a dangerously tasty beer for 10% very well done

Bottle from Crown #6 - Pours a clear, golden/amber with a wispy white head. Aroma is pine and resin with some citrus. Taste is resin, honey, and bready malt sweetness with hints of floral/perfume hops. Mouthfeel is frothy with some oil and warmth.

Pours golden and bright with minimal white head and the aroma is remarkable. It smells sweet citrusy with grapefruit and a hint of lemon. It doesn’t have that usual "carpet" smell like most hoppy brews. The taste is bitter, but not overpowering. It definiteIy does NOT taste like it’s 10% alcohol so beware...this one will sneak up on you!!! I can taste a hint of the honey with citrus undertones. Lots of carbonation. The carbonation along with the bitterness of the beer burns the tongue a little. I’m not usually an IPA fan by any means, but this one is pretty darn good. Although, to me, it smells much better than it tastes.

Poured with gold color with a white head. Pleasant nose of citrus oil and grapefruit peel. Honey sweet, malty start with a sharp slam of hoppy bitterness. Long lasting hoppy aftertaste. This one really hit the spot for me.

0,355 l bottle, shared with Balazs, thanks!
Poured hayz-cloudy orange with a superb foamy white head. Hop-bomb in the aroma with a mild caramel-malt background. Grapefruit, citrusses, resiny but fresh floral hop. Allury one! And what a balanced body! Not so heavy, not a very thick body but well rounded malt base with some honey like sweetness and strong fruity hop character. Citrusses, resin and grapefruit., herbs. Yes, the hop is very powerful! Fine and pleasant attack of hop-cones.

Bottle pour, second tasting. Aroma is very pleasant with floral and citrus notes, very ripe apricot and nectarine. Appearance is crystal clear orange and gold. Wonderful citrus and pit fruit flavors, grapefruit, nectarine, tangerine, apricot...fantastic taste. A light palate with just right carbonation. A delicious, refreshing and perfectly balanced brew. Don’t let it full you though! ABV will sneak up on you!
