| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Jul 13, 2009 12 oz bottle via Hagen. Pours a clear amber with an average beige head. Nose is citrus and herbal. Taste is orange, orange peel, pine, coriander, iced tea. Too heavy on the cystal malts...This seems more like an east coast ipa in style. Body is light and it is a bit on the watery side. Not much here. next... thirdeye11 (558), Texas, USA

There is a really muted smell for me, toasted grain, piney hops, and caramel. The taste is the same, but not as good.
