| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 15, 2009 Bottle thanks to Dmac. Pours out a moderate copper color with some slight white lacing remnants of a head. Notes of citrus hops and some sweetness lingering around with a touch of alcohol. Taste is rather boozy, some citrus hops and some sweet malty grain notes make an appearance, but the hops and the alcohol duel it out and the alcohol wins big time. dmac (1487), Toms River, New Jersey, USA

Aroma has lots of fruitiness with caramel and toffee sweetness along with citrus hops. The flavor has some serious noticable alcohol throughout the entire flavor along with lots of grainy malts and harsh citrus rind. Interesting but tone down the alcohol and balance this one out a bit.
