2014 Edition
Winter Seasonal
Appearance: dense deep amber body with a one finger
off-white head; sticky lacing on the glass
Aroma: just as it says on the bottle, ‘pine and citrus’ on
the nose; mild-moderate
Flavors: hop forward; pine stands out; deep earthy caramel
follows; lightly toasted grains; citrus peel bitterness on the mid; everything
comes together on the finish with a dry pine and citrus hoppy style with a hint
of earthy caramel
Mouthfeel: low-moderate carbonation fizz; medium body;
moderate pine/citrus peel bitterness; long dry finish;
To the Point: a tasty medium body IPA; pleasing to the
palate; easy to drink; I don’t think the pine note was as bold as past years;
didn’t have that pine prickly feel this year; I’m giving this 2014 a B+;
