3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
At RBSG 2006 party at RFD. A hazy amber beer with a lazing orange-beige head. The aroma is lovely sweet hop soup. The flavor is a bit like drinking a cold hop soup with lots of alfa acids and lots of fruit, leading to an end with a note of citrus that lingers for a long time and bit by bit turns dry. This beer is so strongly hoppy, that I find it like a sipping beer.

Bottle 65 cl. Courtesy of TheCheeseMan. Pours amber with a slight haze and a small off-white head. Your typical US Barley Wine nose with hops and sweet caramel. Solid body, carbonation is a little low, sweet caramel, an oxidized note and a hoppy, minty finish. Not overly bitter. Quite a pleasant and balanced American Barley Wine. 170411
