Braudog (3463), Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates Jul 8, 2007 Draft pint at the Gettysburg brewpub. Amberish/golden with a thin filmy top. Light malty aroma. The first swig was almost overwhelmingly alcohol-based (first beer kick). As I go and as it warms, it settles down a bit. Sugary, bitter apple and a bit of "funk". A tad bit too dry for today, but a well done bock. (#3010, 7/6/2007) jonnabrix (124), Newberrytown, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 1, 2007 Very sweet and fruity, with alcohol bite at the end. I enjoyed it, though wouldn’t want more than one in a while. JFURYCAT (706), East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 27, 2007 My co-supervisor loved this one but I thought it had too much of an orange flavor to it and not much depth as far as its palatte is concerned. Where is the CO2? I had a few sips and the sweetness was there but it wasn’t compelling enough to draw me back. acrdz (4248), Pennsylvania, USA Jun 9, 2007 Pint at Gettysburg brewery. Slightly cloudy amber and burnt orange colored body with a regular sized, 1/2 inch head. Crisp and lightly sweet corn and grain scents, leafy as well. Some dried wood and leaves in the flavor too, along with more of the sweet but sharp corn, not overly sweet or sugary, in fact the hops balance this sweetness well, making it crisp and lively. More flavors of honey and toasted grains in the finish... good stuff.
