Review from BeerAdvocate Magazine Issue #51 (April 2011):

Head pops up pretty quick, not gushing, but four fingers high and took forever to drop down. Pale amber glow has a good clarity. Soft resin-like mint, spice and some citric ... an aroma takeover. Mild level of carbonation, smooth and a bit slick within the medium body. Hops slap down a thick oily flavor of spice, citric and mint ... bitterness is not rough, just firm. Yeah, there is malt there, but it struggles to poke through the thick blanket of hop flavor. Kiss of alcohol and exotic fruit in the semisweet finish ... there is the malt waiting for us in the end. Good drinking and an easy way to get your hop fix.

12 oz bottle was poured into a pint glass. 2/5/13 bottle date.

Appearance: This beer poured a small head that reduced to a thin layer. It is a pale orange color with slow moving bubbles coming up through the glass.

Smell: Light citrus and grapefruit hops followed by caramel and bready malts.

Taste: Flavors have diminished and lighter than expected. Nice tingly bitterness in the end to.

Mouthfeel: Low carbonation, crisp, a bit dry, medium bodied, and some tingly bitterness in there too.

Overall: I have had this on draft plenty of times, but the bottle tastes different. Citrus hops are more noticeable at the bar, but at home they are lightened up from what I an used to. This is still a good beer though.
