Flavor

Hop-forward palate follows the nose with a showcase of citrus, pine, and hop resin. Finishes with flavors of grapefruit and a nice complement of caramel sweetness.

Mouthfeel

Mouthfeel has a medium body and moderate carbonation.

Overall

At 96 IBUs, the Category 5 blasts a hefty bite of hops up front but its malty base balances the brew quite well.
