2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
I got this in a recent trade thanks to grownfool, appreciate it! Orange, darkish color, looks a lot like the two previous Hop Project beers I had. Smell is uneventful, earthy, so sad. The flavor also left a lot to be desired. The last Hop Project beers I had were both quite intriguing and sadly this was just boring as far as the hops were concerned. oh, well, hopefully I get to try more of this crazy series.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle thanks to Steve. Pours a clear dark amber color with a medium white head. The aroma is sweet biscuit and citrus. A nice flavor; rich honey and citrus, lemons, smooth dry biscuit malts. Light lingering bitterness. Nice. This beer has a pretty strong bitterness in the finish really. It builds up to a pretty nice brew.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Thanks to Cavie for sharing this bottle.
The beer pours an golden-orange color with a white head. The aroma is heavy on the orange citrus notes with some bread and biscuit malt notes. The flavor is more complex than the aroma. I get a lot of orange notes, but I also get some pine and a little bit of resin. The bread and biscuit malt are present and keep the bitterness fairly low, while still letting the hop flavors come through. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.
