Slightly hazy golden colour with strong orange highlights. VERY LARGE (at leat 5 centimetres in a big glass--way too much) dense off-white head. Smells of citrusie hops very prominent and definately mouthwatering. Strong citrus sweetness along with that citrus hoppiness in the taste, which is very pleasant. The aftertaste is a bit shallow, only showing a small amount of the hops and an evern smaller amount of the malt, but after the strong flavour, it was acceptable! Seemingly a bit out of balance, having too much hops and not enough malt, but odd enough--I like it that way. A very close contender to being considered an India Pale, this one is very hoppy for an APA, and blows my mind that it isn't ranked higher. My only complaint is that its head was WAY too large, but it died down a few minutes later. I got this twelve ounce beer from Matt A. (Mabdoney) in Florida. Thanks again, Matt!!!
