Justin:

Aroma - This one is big on pine with a little bit of caramel and bread crust sneaking in behind it. There's a little bit of resin but not much else going on.
Score: 8/12
Appearance - It's a slightly hazy gold with a thin white head that goes down to a slick film.
Score: 3/3
Flavor - It's caramelly sweet with bread crust, and pie crust coming across equally. The hops are bitter but don't bring a whole lot of flavor beyond the pine and sight resin.
Score: 14/20
Mouthfeel - The body is medium and the carbonation is medium without lively bubbles.
Score: 3/5
Overall Impression - I was underwhelmed by this one. The born on date didn't indicate that it was old but the hops were quite weak.  The bitterness was at a level that was nice but without the flavor of hops to accompany it, I was left wanting more.
Score: 6/10
