Hazy dark straw colour. Biscuity, toasty, grapey aroma. Dry, slightly fruity, slightly yeasty. Finish is sort of hot. As with my other grape beer experience, Peconic County, it’s pretty interesting but perhaps the elements don’t come together enough to really excite me.

Slifgtly hazy orange color, not much head. Fruity, Belgian yeasty aroma (peach and mango). Medium-bodied. Sweetish fruity - mango, apricot, apple - flavor. Oily palate. Hides its alcohol very well. Very American Belgian Strong Ale.

(750ml bottle) Cloudy apple cider body topped by small white head. Aroma is medium sweet, apple, grape, and some tinniness that mostly fades as it warms, though never disappears. Taste is moderately sweet, grape, apple, honey, orange, some nectarine. Medium-full body, sticky.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle. (thx to papsoe) Unclear, golden body with a nice off-white head. Sugar, fruits and some dried fruits in the aroma. The flavor has some hay and grain, but that doesn’t matter because the sweetness, fruitiness and dried fruits dominates in a lovely blend. Full body and a long, sweet finish with some alcohol. It is maybe a bit on the sweet side, but is a lovely drink. (070510)
