Appearance Adam: orangy amber, decent head that dissipates quickly Bryan: tight, dense creamy head with random bubbles holds up for a while; some serious lacing sticks around as it's drank; nice solid copper with light orangish color Smell Adam: hop heaven! not quite as big as last years...is it? Bryan: beautiful aromatic hop aroma; grapefruity citrus; fresh grass and floral aromas Taste Adam: very hoppy, still.. it's almost equally balanced with malt, citrus Bryan: caramelly malt upfront quickly yields to pleasantly bitter hop flavor, which lingers nicely for a while after the beer is gone Mouthfeel Adam: clings to your mouth and persists Bryan: medium carbonation levels keep this beer jumping throughout the mouth; a good solid malt backbone gives the beer some heft in addition to the bittering hops Drinkability Adam: this is one of those beers that I seek out every year...and buy a case Bryan: the aggressive hops tempered just enough by the malt makes this all the more drinkable; one of my favorite Seconds? Adam: yes, but, I would switch to something less hoppy first; give you time for your tastebuds to reset themselves ;-) Bryan: it's the prudent thing to do; absolutely; there's so much to enjoy about this beer!
