Clear orangey amber in color and penty of foam in the Hopleaf goblet. Strong taste of citrus peel and dark grilled peach. Moderate astringency and a bitter aftertaste. Fairly sweet to start, which is welcome considering the dark harsh edge of hoppy night.

Hops are listed as Amarillo, Simcoe, Cascade, and Waimea. This is quite robust and flavorful but not abusively hopped. Still, it's more than a mouthful. From the 12 oz can dated 01/04/22.

12oz can (dated 1/4/22) poured into 16oz tulip. Poured a clean, clear dark honey-gold color with a bit over a half-inch of white head that had moderate retention and low lacing.

The aroma was loads of citrusy hops, with some general frootiness in the back, on top of a light caramel base.

Similar of the tongue, with nice citrus bite at the back end, and light malt hit at the end.

The body was typical, full side of medium, pretty smooth (a touch of coarseness), and had a bit of a sweet finish, that dried out after a minute.

Drinkability was good, an easy enough quaff for a 9+% brew.

Overall, solid and enjoyable, but not really a stand-out in its style. Worth a shot if you see it.
