7.1
Appearance - 7 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7

Pours a hazy, muddy-caramel (or butterscotch) color, with big, thick head. Aroma is very bright, juicy combo of citrus and tropical fruits. Flavor follows, but with a rather sickly sweetness underlying, and some alcohol-burn. Soft mouthfeel. Mild levels of hop bitterness in the finish. Still some work to do in perfecting the quad...
