Who's been drinking this

Notes of brown sugar mixed with hops hit you up front. Finishes bitter as a proper strong ale should.
Bottle
Smell of citrus and pine. On the palate it begins quite sweet, almost sugary, with citrus flavors. Finish gives a hint of bitterness that quite nicely rounds the flavor out. I've never had anything quite like it, and it's very well done.
Bottle
Does the strong malt / strong hop balance much better than either the Brown Shugga or the Sucks, to my memory. I thought this one was tasty and drinkable.
Very malty, very hoppy.
