I just had this from a Firkin tonight, and it tasted absolutely delicious, if you get a chance you have to try it like this.

Appearance - 4.5
Pours 2 fingers of sticky off-white head. Retention is good and it leaves nice lacing all the way down. It's clear and dark amber in color
Aroma - 4.0
Hops are the most prevalent aroma. Floral hops dominate with a small amount of orange is present. It's got a small malt background as well.
Mouthfeel - 4.0
A light-medium bodied beer, feels a little thin. It has a surprisingly small amount of hop resin feel to it, although it is present.
Taste - 4.5
Floral hops hit first followed by a biscuity malt. Next up is a mix of some sweeter malts followed by some more hops with an orange-like flavor. The earthly floral hops end the beer, leaving a slightly bitter finish.
Overall - 4.5
This beer is so easy to drink, it wouldn't be hard to finish a 6 pack in a sitting, although you might be a little wobbly when you got up. It packs a surprising punch, even though you can taste the alcohol. One of my favorite Troeg's offerings.
