look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 3 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.5

Poured from a bottle into a narrow pint glass.

A - nice looking pour with a dark amber color and a moderate head that sticks around until it's done and leads to a bit of lacing.

S - strong citrus and pine/juniper nose on it. Very fragrant making you expect a delicious taste to follow.

T - starts great with strong citrus from the hops and then... leaves you hanging. Really no "middle" to the beer.

M - lots of bitter tangy sensation at the back of the tongue following a few sips, but strangely lite and unsatisfying.

D - decent drinkability, but not exceptional. The bitterness and citrus tones really dominate.

It's a strange beer: starts off great with an impressive hops-laden nose, but then doesn't really delivery. I'm not unhappy I got a sixpack, but I probably won't get another one.

poured into a tumbler

A: hazy, burnt sienna/dark orange when held to the light. no head. moderate lacing. very murky. not the prettiest of beers, but that don't mean a thang.

S: caramel, sticky molasses on the bottom. malty. subdued hop presence. surprising because of the supposed dry-hopping.

T: floral hops right up front. gives the illusion you are drinking tea. the tea feel lingers until after the finish. very effective and intense dry-hopping. after the sharp bitterness, there's notes of caramel. the taste is not as sweet as the smell.

M: light to medium bodied. not particularly carbonated. dry.

O: very unique brew. definitely showcases the dry hopping. the floral hops and the tea qualities are predominant. unassuming yet well-balanced.

look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.75

Poured a half finger of head on a hazy, deep red colored body.
The aroma is a rich caramel and barnyard smell.
The taste is pretty malty with just a moderate lemon bitterness and finishes with a spicy hot note. Quite interesting and good.
The texture is crisper with moderate carbonation.
I think it drinks like a hoppy red ale.
