| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 22, 2009 Bottle at Cole’s in Buffalo, NY. Pours unclear orange with a beige head. Sweet malt aroma with some fruity citric hops. The flavor has a nice fruity caramel sweetness with a very pleasant hoppy finish. The hop profile really makes this beer, it isn’t overpowering by any means, but it really complements the other flavors well. ericandersnavy (1126), crossroads, Texas, USA
