Color:Amber-Brown
Pours a slightly cloudy brown with a hint if amber glow. The pour reveals a huge frothy creamy colored head that required me to wait a few minutes to finish the pour as the head wanted to overflow the glass. Lots of thick sticky web like lacing. The aroma is an enjoyable blend of malts with a citrus and pine hop. The malts are nutty with caramel and coco and work nicely with the hops. The taste follows the aroma with a nice malty base of nut, caramel, brown sugar, and coco with a big blast of citrus hops. The hops quickly change the fairly sweet flavors of the malts into a bold bitterness. The citrus hops are fairly complex with grapefruit, pine, a hint of orange and some earthy flavors near the finish. A combination of both sweetness and bitter linger on the palate in the after taste. Medium body with medium carbonation. A smooth drinkable mouthfeel with a bit of a oiliness and a somewhat dry finish and a sweetness on the lips. Overall, a very nice brown ale with a boat load of enjoyable hops. Well balance and very drinkable with a nice level of complexity! If you are a hop head, get this one fresh and enjoy the massive hop flavors in this beer. Try one!
