Poured into a DFH snifter

A- Pours a rich amber color with red mahogony tones when held to the light. Not much head formed, even after a relatively hard pour. Small spots of lacing down the glass.

S- Very hoppy and definately sweet with alcohol. After some agitation I forced a head to form that let off a grassy hop aroma. Some citrus (orange) comes through as well. The alcohol and citrus are reminiscent of an orange liquer. A slight hint of resin comes through at the end.

T- Again, a orange liquer flavor that I'm not sure how I feel about. Definately some bitterness, but not as complex as I would have immagined. Orange way in the foreground with lemon, pineapple, pine, resin, and citrus pith. Definately an alcohol presence, but not hot.

M- Less effervescent than it appears. Sticky, yet extremely dry and brisk. It's unusual to have such a long-lasting finish in such a dry beer.

D- It's surprisingly drinkable at 100+ IBUs and 12%abv. Well balanced, but somewhat overrated imho.
