A: Poured from a bottle to a pint glass. Had a dark brown color and a thick, opaque consistency. There was a huge, creamy, off white, long-lasting head. Excellent lacing.
S: A very subtle aroma of hops, with a slightly citrusy quality as well.
T: Tasted of grassy hops (not my favorite), a mild citrus element, sweet malt, and a hint of coffee as well. The flavor here definitely has its charms, but it's a bit on the uneven side, mainly due to the addition of grassy hops, which become more and more prevalent the more you drink.
M: A good amount of carbonation with a prickly finish. Medium-bodied.
O: An unbalanced beer. Certainly has its charms, but there was something left to be desired.

Pours a very nice black color, nice carbonation, with a pretty nice thick/creamy one-finger off-white head, which leaves some pretty nice sticky lacing behind. The nose is hoppy, malty, with some nice citrus. The taste is hoppy, malty, citrusy. Medium body. Overall, a tasty brew.
