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

12oz bottle from a 4-pack bought for $9.50 at Capones in East Norriton.

Poured into a pint glass (need to get wine glasses and snifters by the way since ive managed to systematically break them all recently). Was really suprised by the amount of head in spite of the alc content. Pours a really bright yellow with orange/brown highlights. Lacing is sticky but not thick.

Smell is all pine and grapefruit with a little bit of pot dankish hint. Kind of hollow tho, maybe its the booze coming thru.

Taste is better than i expected. Their Pumpkin and Barley wine were overly sweet, but this stays true to the smell and stays dry and bitter. Mouthfeel isnt very thick, with light carbonation, but not very drinkable. The 11.5% alc warms heavily at the tailend. making it a sipper.

Not bad. Ill definitly finish the 4-pack and will try it on tap, but def not a world beater.

Can only hold on to this for so long:

NCAA basketball drew me out, oh well

Into a chalice:

A: golden yellow/orange colored body with a one finger white foamy head with decent lacing

S: spicey through the hops as it warms

T: spicey again, malts come out slightly

M: medium, slightly sessionable - maybe one or two, sweet aftertaste

O: ok, I believe I'm officially done for the day; very good for the style, and I`ll have again
