Poured from a growler I got earler today from the brewery. The beer poured a nice apple juice like color, with a thick 1 inch head that dissipated down to a 1/4 inch. A nice lacing formed on the walls of the glass. Fantastic looking beer!

Interesting smell here. Very piney, with a backbone of honey and soft tea like notes.

Once sipped, my mouth was full of that pine hop scent I detected earlier. It's not overbearing though, as there is a strong malty background to back up such a hopped up brew. The hoppy flavors are very piney, and the malty flavors are rather honeylike and smooth.

Soft, thin mouthfeel here. It wasn't too thin, though, but just the right viscosity for this beer. I'll give this a five in this catagory.

I can't reccomend a session of this, simply because of the ABV being so high, but it is good enough to warrant a 2nd pint.

Such a wonderful brew by Troegs. I'm very lucky to live by these guys, as they have a bunch of awesome beers to offer.
