Who's been drinking this

It has a very sweet smell, but it's not very sweet to the taste. It shows an interesting mix of faint caramelized and toasted notes with hop flavors.
A strongly sweet caramelized flavor hints at unpleasantness, but the flavor has none of it. Just a nice amount of toasted malt to offset the hops, simple and uncomplicated. Beat the Kingpin hands-down for me, but it wasn't especially memorable.
Smells of citrus and a bit of malt. On the palate brown bread and toffee flavors, some peach as it warmed, and another hit of citrus on the finish. Sweet on the palate but a balanced finish also leads some bitterness.
