3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Location: 22 oz bottle from Whole Foods - Bowery, 10/31/09
Aroma: A nice, but light citrus aroma, some other fruits and grass as well
Appearance: Pours a dark orange, almost amberish, color with a thin white head
Flavor: More malty and less hoppy then the style usually is, but it has a nice taste it
Palate: This one has a pretty decent mouthfeel with a medium body and a bit of an ABV bite.
Overall Impression:
This was a pretty decent beer, but it didn’t quite live up to what I wanted from this beer and this style. I’m not saying it was bad, but it wasn’t quite up to my expected level.
