| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 17, 2009 Updated: Nov 21, 2009Pours dark amber, approaching crimson, with a luxurious off-white head, showing great persistence.
Amazing sweet hoppy aroma showing loads of resin, pine, orange blossom, grapefruit and mint. Well balanced by sweet crystal malt. Superb.
Similarly, the flavours show a great balance of malt and hops. Loads of caramel first up, before resin and pine show through, followed by some grassy notes (from dry-hopping?). All this is finished off by a captivating and complex (not to mention assertive) bitterness.
Smooth, moderately rich mouthfeel. gunnfryd (3641), Kristiansand, Norway

Nose of sweet malts and light hops. Flavor is well balanced between the myriad malts and hops, and there is a sweet caramel presence. Finish is mildly bitter and sticky. Quite tasty. douglas88 (1679), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA
