This superhumanly balanced brew blasts the tastebuds with a shot of hops then closes with a polished malty finish. Its intricate harmony between hop and malt was only achieved through years of intense training. Many have tried to mimic this recipe, however all have failed and been sentenced to mediocrity. This legend pours amber in color but appears ruby when held to the light. A full, off-white head laces the glass with great retention. Aroma begins with a citrus/pine hops note but balances midway with a rich caramel malt presence. The flavor starts with an exploding American hop essence but balances with a warm crystal, caramel malt focus. It’s well balanced for such a hoppy malt beer. The full finish has lingering hop and caramel sweetness well after the last sip.

A hopped up Amber that just does not work. There is no harmony between the hops and the malt. Neither wins the battle for supremacy and the taste profile is muddled and confused.
