Pours clear medium amber, small head, light carbonation. Aroma is bam, floraly hops! Can smell it before even taking a taste. Flavor wise the hops is dominant, however not skunky. There is a bit of light roasty malt in the middle, strong lingering bitter finish. Mouth feel is medium, there is a touch of syrupy feel, but not objectionable. For how hoppy it is, I don’t find it offensive, however the bitter is a bit too much for me. I can drink it, but want strong food to go with it. On its own it’s a bit hard for me to drink. Oh, and it’s not my imagination, this does pack a bit of buzz, over 7% ABV is higher than your average beer.
2 out 4 hoppy monkeys.
