Appearance:Poured a hazy orange color with little head in a big brandy snifter. The head was light tan that didn’t last very long.
Aroma: Dominant smell was orange. I also got hints of pine and perfume like aroma.
Taste: Mild bitterness with a grapefruit bite in the front and middle. It finished off with a malty caramel taste. There was a lot of other stuff going on in this taste that I couldn’t pinpoint.
Overall: 90/100
I tasted a squall and a regular 90 minute back to back this weekend. As much as I love the regular, the Squall just blows it away.
Hard to believe what a little bit of bottle conditioning can do to a beer. Yum!
