3.52/5  rDev +1.1%
look: 3 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5
Pours black with a tan head.
Nose shows heavy pine, roasted malt, spicy hops and pine-scented cleaning chemicals. Insane amounts of pine.
Crazily hoppy flavours too, again really piny. Lots of dry roast too, hinting at coffee. Very aggressive.
Could use a little more carbonation.

This is a revamped version of their beer 2012 and pours a dark black hue with khaki two finger quick vanishing head and lacing here and there,the smell is very hoppy it's pineapple mixed strong pine citrus hops and dark malts,the mouthfeel is light bodied with soft moderate carbonation and the taste is very bitter with strong piney hops and citrus broken up only slightly with a soft maltiness but once again the strong pineapple and piney hops take over again for a fruity bitter finish and overall yeah it's not bad but of late I've been spoilt with this style locally but in saying that it's quite fresh and easy enough to drink cheers.
