Fresh hoppy aroma with citrus and pine notes and a definite caramel malt note. The flavor is pretty well balanced, with a nice spicy and citric hop profile and a solid caramel malt sweetness.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 3, 2007 22 oz. bottle from Zinister, shared with tjthresh. Pour is hazy blood orange with a one inch slightly off white head. Aroma of grapefruit rind and some candy citrus (those little orange slice candies). Taste is BIG grapefruit juice. Just a blast of grapefruit hop that is bitter all the way from start to finish. The sweetness also exists in the taste, though it is more like ripe oranges here, not really candy sweetness. The aftertaste is long, and again, really reminiscent of grapefruit juice. Overall an interesting one to try, but a bit one dimensional for me. Thanks for sending this one Mike!
