Very deep golden color. Frothy white head. The nose is intense and amazing. Brimming with hops it show apple crumble, pine, peach citrus, with a good wallop of caramel. Everything is very pronounced. The mouth is perfectly balance, not cloying at all for 11%, massively aggressively bitter, but the malt character never dominates. The ABV does show up in the end with a big warm finish. Still much drier than I could have imagined. I thought it would be bitter, but this is absolutely one of the most bitter beers Ive had. Despite its extremes, its extremely quaffable. This is nothing short of a masterpiece. I am having a 500ml can to myself and was reluctant to do so because of the ABV, but happy I am not sharing this baby. Top notch all the way.
