Clear golden amber body with a larfe frothy white head that persists. Caramel, fruity malts, spice, and light yeasty aroma. Very yeasty and caramelized flavor, slight stale hops, light candi sugar and some slight honey. Medium body with moderately high carbonation.

Thanks for sharing Jerel! Hazy yellow brown with a loose white head. Fruity alcohol, light Belgian esters. Some past prime hops. Low carbonation, thinner. Fruity alcohol, low hops. Belgian esters. Dry after a light fruity sweetness. Not bad, but nothing too exciting.

Golden blond color with fizzy off white head. Bread, citrus, and spice on the nose. Alcohol was well masked. Lots of spice and fruit in this beer

Not exciting. Honey golden color with a small to medium sized white head. Nose is dark fruit, yeast, bread, and alcohol. Taste is a bit spicy, matly, some dark fruits and sugar. Very weak on every level.

scent is full of fruit more fruit and then some malt and yeast. taste is quite fruity with some yeast and just the right amount of carbonation. certainly a warming sensation from the alcohol, but it is very well hidden. a very unique taste that you don’t expect from a ’beer’. yes, i would certainly purchase this again, and enjoy every minute of it. this beer is amazing. if you see this beer, purchase it.

Pour is medlum to light golden. Aroma is very strong with fruit and belgian yeast. Taste is very fruity and delicious! 10% abv?! That alcohol is the most hidden I have ever tasted. Incredible. This is a great brew. Buy it! This is under-rated for sure. Watch this one rise in the percentiles real quick. Wow.

Poured a nice orange amber hue with a thick white head which had very mild retention. Carbonation was minimal. Aroma had a strong banana like note to it mixed with some citrus notes. Flavor was sweet mainly with honey notes but a few fruity notes to balance it out. Palate was thin but smooth. Seemed mild for 10% abv, still nice though.

Honey orange color with a fleeting head. Smells of citrus, caramel, and oxidation. Medium bodied and lightly carbonated. Taste is laced with oxidation and flavors of sweet raisons, oranges, and a hint of bready malts. No best by or bottling date on the label. 1807
