Bottle from Halftime Beverage, amber pour with a nice white head. Aroma of citrus, grapefruit and some pine. Taste is citrus and piney hops, bit too bitter of a finish for me.

Thanks to 5000 for sending me this bottle. Glad he hooked me up with all 12 beers in the series.
Golden pour with a white head. The aroma has some biscuit malt as well as some pine and light citrus from the hops. The flavor is more intense. I get some alcohol and sugary sweetness, as well as some raisin and pine notes. There is also some nice citrus fruit. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Nice capper on the series.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
This was a joint tasting on Facebook with Strykzone. This poured an apricot color with big off white head. The nose was a big blast of grapefruit citrus. Medium plus in body with a mouthfeel with some hop "bite". The flavor is powerfully of hops, mostly citrus but some floral notes as well. The finish is dry and the hops stay with you. Not a lot of bitterness but that is OK. It is supposed to be a pale ale.

Thanks for Hayduke for this one and we shared it together via facebook chat. This poured very hazed dingy golden and had a big gold tinted head. A big citrus hop aroma reminds me of an IIPA. This starts out with big biting hops. Citrus is dry grapefruit. Some floral. These hops are really big. How is this not a double? This series has been so interesting and every beer has been quite good. This beer is, too. Again, why is this not a double?

2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draft at Valhalla shared with Linh, Vi and Thi. Pours an amber golden body with not much head, light white lacing. Aroma is malty, bitter spicy hop and light floralness. Mouthfeel is medium, somehwat astrigent with notes of plain malts, vague hops, flowers and a light herbalness. I don’t get any raisins in this, interesting. Overall, very bland.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at Apex, pours a hazy golden with a small off-white head. Aroma of mild honey and pungent skunky herbal hops that dominate. Flavour is very bizarre, with treacle notes, herbally hops and some mild honey notes. Actually a lot more pronounced on the hops than anything else. One of the better Apocalypse Series beers, even though I’ve no idea what this was supposed to be. Good stuff.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
This beer pours a pink apricot color. The nose is floral grapefruit and apricots. The pallet is also floral grapefruit wit apricot.
