Location: 22 oz bottle from Syosset Beverage, 10/14/14

Aroma: The nose is earthy hops, plenty pine, some spice notes, cracker, and a touch of citrus
Appearance: It pours a dark orange-brown color with a thick, frothy beige head and strong lacing
Flavor: The spice comes out more in the flavor, mildly sweet, with a mid-heavy hop bitterness
Palate: The body is medium, with lively carbonation, and a lengthy, dry finish on the mouth
Overall Impression: I thought this was a solid one. The aroma lets off more of an earthy and pine hop profile, but the flavor is really dominated by the spicy hops. Either way, it is a pretty solid, interesting beer.
