Aromas of citrus hops, grapefruit, slightly masked roasted malts, and caramel. Flavor is citrus hops and grapefruit upfront then goes to a nicely balanced caramel and slight roasted malts. Somewhat dry, bitter, semi sweet. I wouldn’t mind aging some of these but I went through the 6 pack already:(

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 19, 2009 Bottle: Pours a clear brownish copper with a thin off-white head that has some nice lacing. Aroma is fruity with hints of caramel. Rich flavor is mainly hops from start to finish with some floral accents and a touch of caramel to help balance it out, but the hops win out in the bitter finish. A good one to pick up if you are able to buy singles. after4ever (2809), Brier, Washington, USA
