| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 6, 2009 On Tap at City Beer. Pours with a golden body and a white head that lasted and left great lace. Aroma of hops, fruit and caramel. Taste is similar to my Imperial Red (where I copied the PtE hop bill), fruity, a bit of a thin malt profile, with pine hops. Water like mouthfeel. alexanderj (2263), Chino Hills, California, USA
