| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 15, 2007 sampled at Lansing Winter Beer Fest 07’...cloudy orange body with thin off-white head..aroma heavy in sweet malt, caramel, and light zesty hops...flavor of sugary malts and citrus hops...this is more of an old IIPA (where the hops were dying off) than it is a barley wine...however, it was quite good and they should bottle this instead of that Blue Goat Dopplebock shit Arayaga2 (1001), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
