look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 2.5 | overall: 3.5

A: Lighter than I thought it was going to be. A pumpkin orange with some extra red color in there. Little head but the lacing stays and does not dissipate.

S: Surprisingly light. Some light sweetness and a bit of fruityness or floral note.

T: It's nicely balanced but overall a bit dull. Hops hit nicely at first but fade into a but of dull bitterness. Alcohol adds more that takes away giving a kiss of sweetness and twang. Some residual sweetness but really not overly powerful in general.

M: Sits like it's going to kick your ass but then doesn't. Agressive carbonation and alcohol given the relative thinness of the beer. A quick swig goes nicely but letting it linger is pretty rough.

Overall a pretty nice beer. It drinks a lot like an imperial IPA given a big hop bitterness and some overall floral notes. It's not a bad beer but it's overall pretty weak not bringing any big bold flavors.

Serving type: bottle
