| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 17, 2009 Slightly hazy; light copper color. Amazing frothy head--leaves extensive spotty lace.
Quite earthy smell (surprisingly), good floral hop aroma.
Very dry, almost astringent, flavor which I think is the source of the earthiness. I like the hop content; it is both bittering and spicy. Predictable body.
