Aroma: Citrus, orange, grapefruit with some malted notes of biscuit, cereal and grain. Subtle meat notes and also ether. Average complexity and power. Appearance: Copper / Amber with a lot of yeast residue. Very hazy and muddy. Off white head is average, creamy and long lasting with an average lacing. Taste: Very hoppy attack with strong orange notes. Strong bitterness including zesty oranges and conifer. Finish is long lasting. Round texture with a lot of body. Flavors are leaving all space to bitterness. And that ether note coming back all the time is a bit annoying. A lot of bitterness, strong hops, but missing a bit of flavor complexity.
