look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5
Appearance: excellent color. Redish amber, came with decent lacing, yet no head.

Smell: hops at first

Taste: Biscuity. Perfect balance. Everything there in the right perportion, esp. when the beer warms a bit. If you take that balance and make it more intense, this would have a perfect taste. I thought I noticed a malt extract-like taste at the end of some sips when the beer was first served and colder. (Not saying they use malt extract).

Wonderful specimen of style.
