| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 7, 2008 Clear light brown with apparently hygroscopic head scared against the sides of the glass. Potent hops aroma, mainly citrus (orange, but even trending to lemon). Light pine, ephemeral cheesiness. Biscuity, cookie dough malts. Sweet and soft here, more orange. Very creamsicle-ish, almond notes. Good sweet/bitter balance.
