From the fermentors in Middlebury, VT comes splendor in a bottle labeled Backseat Berner.
I poured this brew into a glass sitting in the freezer for a few days.
The first sip yielded a very sweet hoppy flavor with little to no bitterness. I will ammend that last statement and say the bitterness and carbonation where aburpt and gave way to a very long and satisfying sweet hops flavor.
Just smelling the brew was pleasing. There was a satisfying level of hops. I would place this next to my fav Peak's Organic any day.
The third sip had an aggresive hops flavor. The aftertaste is revealing orange peel, raw honey, and even a hint of a sweet citrus syrup.
Again, the hops scent is strong enough to fill your nostrils. If you sip and smell, you get a very generous portion of hops.
The last sip had a pleasant bitter that has me wanting a 6-pack.
Looks good. Sounds like a delicious beer. Followed.
Do you always taste your beers that cold? The colder a beer is, the less flavor it will have. It can be refreshing, but for real tasting I usually have them around 53°F, up to even 68°F (that last temperature is just for deep technical tasting, it is not always an enjoyable experience anymore)
I'll be doing a beer review myself later today.

I definitely agree about the temperature. When I do wine tastings, I like mine right around 60F. If it is too cold, those taste buds close up tight!

One of my reviews under #hoppyhour has a suggested temperature written on the beer. I have done nearly all reviews around 50°F-60°F.
For this one, I wanted to try a colder review. I definitely enjoyed the flavor this cold.
