Aroma Comment on malt, hops, esters, and other aromatics

Aroma médio-alto de lúpulo citra, dominando o balanço. Aroma de malte não perceptível. Perfil de fermentação limpo.

Appearance Comment on color, clarity, and head (retention, color, and texture)

Cerveja límpida, dourado intenso, com média formação de espuma e alta retenção.

Flavor Comment on malt, hops, fermentation characteristics, balance, finish/aftertaste, and other flavor characteristics

Amargor intenso, com balanço decididamente voltado para o lúpulo, lembrando frutas cítricas, Sabor de malte neutro. Amargor do lúpulo persistente e final seco. Fermentação neutra.

Mouthfeel Comment on body, carbonation, warmth, creaminess, astringency, and other palate sensations

Carbonatação alta. Corpo médio.

Overall Impression Comment on overall drinking pleasure associated with entry, give suggestions for improvement

Cerveja fora do estilo proposto. A técnica de dry hopping destoa o balanço em direção ao lúpulo, e faz com que o exemplar lembre uma American IPA. Sugiro que a técnica seja empregada com maior parcimônia, e utilizando menor carga de lúpulo (e, talvez, um de características aromáticas mais sutis).
