Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 6.5

Bottle pour into nonic pint glass from Manchester Wine and Liquors. Appearance is cloudy yellow-orange with floating bits of dark sediment, 2-finger width white foamy head with decent sudsy lacing. Aroma is tropical fruit, mild grapefruit and clove. Taste is initial sweet tropical fruit, changing quickly to grapefruit and then ending moderately bitter. Palate is medium bodied with thick, creamy texture, soft-to-average carbonation and bitter finish. Overall, has all the elements of a Belgian-style IPA but only fair execution.
