Aroma: Overtones of bold citrus and grapefruit hops. Undertones of caramel and chocolate.  9.5/10

Appearance: Medium-dark brown with light tan head. Mostly opaque. 8/10

Flavor: Light, dry malt in the beginning leads to hop bitterness in the middle, with some deeper citrus hop flavors showing through. Relatively dry malt brings balance at the end with caramel and faint chocolate and coffee notes. There is a bit of sourness throughout the beer. Hop bitterness lingers in the aftertaste with some caramel staying around as well. 18/20
