3.9 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Semi-clear deep gold pour with a half-inch white head. Bursting with delicious pine and citrus hop aromas. Some light caramel sweetness, but definitely overwhelming with hop bitterness. Taste is straight up hoppy. Lots of underlying tropical citrus sweetness, a touch of mango, and a kiss of orange. Finishes quite bitter, a lingering piney resin coating your mouth for about a minute after consumption. Medium body, a little slick, with lively carbonation. Pretty tasty. I like that this does not have a lot of residual sweetness, but the C-hop rating is off the scales. Glad I took a bottle home from Cleveland.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bouteille de 22 oz. Arômes de houblon rappelant les oranges confites et les pêches. Robe orangée et trouble, effervescence presque nulle et aucune mousse. En bouche, le houblon très fruité et floral est accompagné d’un malt relativement rond et sucré, qui ne tombe cependant pas dans des excès de malt crystal. Finale présentant une amertume d’intensité moyenne et une très légère pointe d’alcool. Cette bouteille laisse supposer que cette bière est probablement très bonne lorsque qu’elle possède une effervescence adéquate (ce qui n’était malheureusement pas le cas ici).

Poured from a bomber into a snifter. Appearance is a hazy copper with a white head that lasts the entirety of the beer leaving nice rings and splotches of lacing. Aroma is filled with grapefruit rind and orange peal. Taste is loaded with grapefruits and oranges and a sweet, malty backbone. Mouthfeel is smooth, yet tingly with a medium to fully body and a medium to long finish.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours pale yellow/gold with a huge foamy white head...great retention and lacing. Aroma has spicy hops...some malty backing...a hint of a medicinal scent. Flavor also has spich hop notes, some floral notes, and malty backing...a bit of a musty stale taste. Mouthfeel is fairly thin and the finish is earthy and dry.
