3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a clear copper, thick creamy head. Taste is light & crisp. Fruit, pears & grapes, like wine maybe. Some pepper toward the finish. Mild hops. Creamy mouthfeel. Different.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Appearance: Pours a clear, orangey-copper body with a lush, though short-lived white head.
Smell: An aroma that’s a mixture of honey, grape bubblegum, and pineapple juice.
Taste: Starts with a light caramel sweetness that thins out into the grape and pineapple fruit flavors. A light hint of citrus comes and goes. There’s a light, leafy hop taste and bitterness near the drying finish. I gotta say, for being a mere 5.2% alcohol, you can really taste and feel it.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: It started out alright, but slowly became a chore to finish. I suggest having a friend on hand to split the bottle with.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Golden in color with a good size tan head. Aroma is spicy and fruity. Taste is malty with a slightly fruity hoppy taste.

9/19/07 From the bottle. Aroma is Peppery phenols with sweet malt forward that has a light roasted/biscuit character. There is some light hop flora and pear notes in the background. Appearance is clear gold with a good off-white head. Flavor is faintly sour and sweet malt forward with some Munich graham cracker character and very low bittering hops. Mouthfeel is medium/low bodied with a low carb texture. Overall, very good and extremely easy drinking.
2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Had this beer on 9/27/2006. Aroma is a Belgian malt scent with hop tones. Color is orange/brown low carbonation and a thin head. Taste is light, sweet and crisp. Starting with a light/medium body it goes down with a light crisp feel. Finish is a mild malt flavor and a faint hop flavor.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours a slightly burnt apricot color w/ a short fused pritzy froth. Head reduces rapibly to reveal a silky cnopy w/ thin ring. Aromas of crispy sweet malts. Medium nectar w/ ample residual effers. The texture is fiberous like a suit from the Miami Vice days. Nicely balanced, crisp, and....well I can’t really say refreshing. Theres an anoying herbal antagonist that is discovered quickly. Other nuances of nectarines, grapes, tangerine, and floral perfume. The finish is bittered w/ a mild acidic component.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a clear amber with a fizzy white head. Has hints of apples, some caramel, and a little hops. Carbonation is pretty low, and finishes like a carbonation glass of wine.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Truly good beer for good people. Amber with a light head. Sweet bread and caramel on the nose. Medium bodied candied malt flavor with caramel and lightly hopped for balance. I love this with a three cheese tomato pizza.
