Big thanks to pvequalsnrt for including this one as an extra in a trade. Poured into a Boulevard pint glass.

Appearance: Hop'solutely pours a light golden color with orange highlights. About a finger of white head forms. Retention is decent, lacing is just okay.

Smell: I get some sweet bready malts right off the bat, with some citrus and grapefruit hops behind that. I also get quite a bit of alcohol. Not too surprising considering this beer is 11.50% ABV.

Taste: A bunch of citrus and sweet bready malts, followed by a bunch of grapefruits hops. Quite a kick of alcohol at the end too, you can really tell that there is a bunch of alcohol in this beer. Pretty good though.

Mouthfeel: Just over light bodied with fairly low combination. Pretty smooth drinker. This beer isn't the easiest to drink considering how much alcohol is in it. Still, it's pretty damn tasty and refreshing.

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
