Hazy amber color. Light oak and alcohol aroma. Caramel flavor, with a too high perception of dust and grilled nuts, ending in ashes; the final bitterness is too disturbing. Too strange.

3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle at Chriso pre-GBBF tasting 09. Love the idea behind this beer and followed it on the video blog. Gold, clear thin white head. Wild subtle hop. Toffee in mouth. Some more hop on the finish, but compared with their other IPAs, this was not as good.
