L - pours a stupid murky haze. Rock solid paint. The light bounces off this one unlike any beer I've seen yet. Seems like it only lets pockets of light through at certain points. Neat.
S - candied pineapple zest. Peach rings and Juicy Fruit. The 10% lights these aromas on fire, increasing intensity.
T - pineapple rind. Bubblegum and melon. The alcohol is definitely there, but it sharpens every flavor instead of blowing you out of the water. White bread toast and mealy, spicy, yeastiness. Gritty. Finishes a touch grassy but mostly neutral for its monster ABV.
F - soft and dangerous. Leaves a chalkiness on the tongue that can only be described as pure hop essence.
O - digging Relic more and more each day. This brew is intense and passionate, juicy and zesty. Happy 6th!

Bigger nose than Adrian Brody. I could smell it easily from 3 feet away. Med+ mouthfeel. Straight Orange juice. Good balance for ABV, doesn't become too sweet or cloying when it warms up, although I drank it pretty fast.

Look: Big fluffy head, orangish brown turbid color
Aroma: Peach, tropical
Taste: Peach and tropical hops up front, then spicey/piney hops, ends slightly bitter and dry with an unpleasant alcohol flavor (more then an acceptable amount).
Feel: Full mouthfeel, leaves a resiny hop flavor after each sip
Overall: Its a big hoppy beer, but has too much of an alcohol flavor to be really good.
