Can from Corti Bros. Pours apricot tinged translucent gold with a white head. Intense citrus aroma over slightly cooked caramel. Approaching full body. Very smooth/slick in the mouth. Flavor is very, very citrus. There's caramel support which has a cooked aspect - not a problem - the hop level needs a lot of malt. The citrus burn isn't as strong as I'd expected - but it's present. Overall this ale stands a bit apart from most. The can indicates 9 hops - some of which are exotic, and maybe the part I'm having trouble pinning down is a bunch of confused tropicals. I'm also wondering whether the 8.1 ABV on the can should have been 9.1. My head begins to spin a bit. Really interesting, flavorful, and tasty ale. Cue yummy sounds.
