Appearance: 5 - Poured into a room temp pint glass. Cloudy, golden body radiated an energy that couldn't be ignored. A thick white head provided a barrier between heaven and Earth. Alive.

Aroma: 4 - Strong hops aroma jumped out immediately. Slight malty goodness also detected.

Flavor: 5 - Starts hoppy, finishes sweet and creamy. Subtle nuances I have no words for. Mild but intriguing.

Mouthfeel: 5 - Incredibly well balanced and carbonated. Maintains head, which adds to each sip.

Overall Impression: 5 - Holds up throughout the entire pint. Simply amazed at the quality of this beverage.

Comments: 4.8 - May be the best beer I have ever tasted.
