Deep in the labs at TG, through the vaulted door, down the steps, and past the room labeled “Beware the Leopard” lies an experiment forgotten. For over a year it remained dormant, calculating the precise moment of return to unleash the ultimate blend of hops. Finally, escape! This unbridled force descends upon the unsuspecting masses. Can you handle it?

Murky orange, lasting surface skim and spotty lace.
Aroma is on the earthy, piney end of the spectrum. Slightly funky.
Spicy taste, pine resin permeates and lingers into the aftertaste.
Overall it's ok, not sure how fresh it is without a date stamp.
