12 oz bottle. Cloudy amber pour. No real head to speak of. Malt and quite a bit of floral hop characteristics. A bit of a dry bitter finish for an amber. Not bad, I'm just not sure it fits with the style. I think the things that make their high gravity beers excellent might be working against them in this. Not to say I wouldn't drink it again though.

Pours a true amber color. Almost no nose and no head. While it didn’t boast of anything up front I did notice a little floral hops character, some bitterness. No lacing. Light carbonation. The body of this beer was weak and unbalanced. It had a flat, fruity sweet quality that really detracted form the essence of the malt.
