375mL bottle, pours a very cloudy bright orange with a small white head. Aroma is very malty, with heaps of caramel malt and perhaps less resinous hop character in comparison. Flavour confirms the impression from the nose, with a massive caramel malt body providing way for a chewy resinous hop character. Over-malted for my tastes, but it's still an enjoyable beer - more like a hoppy barley wine almost. Nicely constructed, but not an elite IIPA.
