| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 9, 2009 a- pours a light orange hue, two fingers of creamy white head, large and active particles with good lacing throughout
s- nose is dominated by sweet citrus hops (mostly orange), some subtle pine and grass tones
t- surprisingly bitter hoppiness for a cream ale, but nicely balanced with smooth malts, warming alcohol sensation, bitter and lasting aftertaste
m- medium-bodied, slightly oily with lively carbonation
d- i found this to be a strong, hoppy beer that is uncharacteristic of this genre, fairly smooth, but I wouldn’t drink more than a few in a sitting jkwalking05 (1483), Arlington, Texas, USA
