Appearance - 4.0
Pours 1 1/2 fingers off off-white head that settles fairly quickly, leaving nice lacing. It has a hazy copper amber color. Hard to see through, looks very thick.
Aroma - 5.0
Sweet caramelized malts at the front then lots of floral/citrus hops on the nose.
Mouthfeel - 4.0
Medium bodied with good carbonation. Feels slightly heavier and smooth.
Taste - 4.5
The malts definitely take a back seat to the hops which are prevalent from the beginning to the end. The hops flavor is more intense than the aroma gives away. Finishes dry and leaves a nice hops bitterness.
Overall - 4.5
A great beer. Hops heads like myself will love it. It's also pretty drinkable, the bitterness doesn't last long enough to destroy it's drink-ability. Highly recommended.
