3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 DSG (3927) - Tel Aviv, ISRAEL - AUG 3, 2012
UPDATED: SEP 21, 2012 Re-rate 9/21/12: Bottle. Hazy deep reddish amber color with a medium off-white head. Aroma with strong piney and grapefruity hops, some slightly cookie-ish maltiness and a bit of alcohol. Sweet big malty flavor with caramel, cookies, piney and fruity hops, light alcohol spiciness and a bold bitter finish. Medium to full-bodied, a bit oily. Not bad, but a bit too sweet and heavy for my liking. 7/3/6/3/13=3.2
