3.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Aroma has plenty of floral and citrus hops and bready malts. Mouthfeel is quite smooth but thin. Flavor has hops, a little bit of bubblegum and bitter maltiness. Aroma is a lot better than the bland malty taste. Aftertaste is malty bitter. Enjoyable!

3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle 12 fl.oz. Pours deep amber in color with a small tan head. Very strong hoppy in aroma, some sweeter notes as well, some pine too. A bit of light grapefruit bitterness in taste, although this isn’t on the whole that over-the-top bitter, more leaning to the sweeter side. Quite soft. Some malty sweetness and a light grassy bitter in aftertaste.

Purchased: May 2, 2013
Consumed: May 3, 2013
Misc.: Best by June 26, 2013
Poured a dark red clear color with one finger of khaki tan head that dissipated quickly. Average sporadic lacing on the sides of the glass. Average retention, surprising considering how fast the head disappeared.
Smelled a surprising whiff of floral hops to start. Also got some nutty malts, buttery malts and some light caramel malts.
Tasted floral hops, buttery malts and nutty malts for the most part. Hops are the best part here.
Medium-to-light body. Oily texture. Average carbonation. Long, slightly bitter finish.
This beer had its moments but I think something was just a bit off. That being said, I’d probably give it another try.
