text: Awesome amber red color, off-white head that leaves a nice ring around the glass and good lacing. Caramel, plum, floral and piney hops in the smell. Taste loads you up with caramel and dark fruit and then then the hops kick in and take charge with flavors of pineaple and maybe even orange hidden in there as well, finishes with a taste of pine. Full body, seems to be perfect carbonation. I'm glad to drink this one. This bottle was still young so some of the flavors were separated, I have a bottle I'm saving to try after the flavors start to blend.
