4.47/5  rDev +4.7%
look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5

A: Deep carmel color with one inch clumpy head that laces the glass.

S: Big hoppy aroma. Floral and citrus notes jump out of the glass. Big malt presence as well with hints of rye.

T: Huge hop flavor with nice malt backbone. Great balance. Ruby red grapefruit and lemon grass are balance with carmel malt and bisquits. The rye add nice character. Bitter hop finish that lingers on the palate.

M: Full bodied, robust and smooth.

D: Nicely balanced, this is a well crafted brew. ABV is well masked, so I could have many of these at once. Job well done from Bear Republic.

Serving type: bottle
