| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 2, 2007 Growler at DLD. Poured a nice golden color with a thin head. Hops, hops and lots of hops in both the aroma and flavor. Alcohol hidden very well. Not much complexity, this is just a vessel to deliver a full frontal hopal assault. Would like some more comlexity, but still a quality brew. drewbeerme (2315), Chicago, Illinois, USA

Appears a hazy, light gold with a small, light tan cap of fluff that fades into a mild collar. Spots and streaks of lacing are left around the glass.
Smell is yeasty, citrusy, highlights of grapefruit, pine, orange, caramel, and dusty grain.
Taste is of the mentioned aromas perhaps stepped down a notch with the greatest flavor coming in the form of hoppy grapefruit and orange.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied, yeasty, and bitter with some decent malt standing up in the background.
It’s hard to believe this one was 11.5% abv. It went down pretty easy. TomDecapolis (3221), Skippack, Pennsylvania, USA

Pours a hazy amber/orange with a medium off white bubbly head. Aroma of orange, floral, some pine and caramel. Flavor of grapefruit, pine, lots of hop flavor and bitterness. Bitterness lingers and alcohol comes forward as it warms.
