Bottle. Called "Al-Iksir". Hazy orange-amber with a short, white head. Aroma is candied fruit, sweet malt, light spice, yeast, and flowers. Taste is bigger spice, sweet malts, candy, ripe fruit, dusty yeast, and fresh flowers. Body is medium and very bubbly. Strong carbonation and prickly in spots. Ends with more ripe fruit, candied notes, sweet malt, light grains, spice, lightly bitter hops, flowers and yeast. Rather tasty but the $19.99 price tag isn’t quite justified.

2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Draft – Max’s. Hazy gold, thin white head. Fresh soap bar aromas ride a light foundation of pineapple cotton candy and honeyed fuzzy fruit. Candied apricot and peach tones mingle with flavors of bready lavender throughout. Light bodied, soft carbonation, fruity finish. Strange and truly unpleasant…

Draft at redlight redlight. pours a bright slightly amber gold. floral nose with some fruitiness and sharp booze notes that reflect the high alcohol. sweet upfront with some of that high alcohol bite in the finish. some berries and plum come through. not that bad.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Al-iksir. Slightly hazy amber-orange pour. No head. The nose is quite intense. A candyish sweetness and a fairly heavy spicy nose. Lots of heavy cinnamon, nutmeg and sweet date honey. Plummy and a little bit floral on the back. Rich and spicy along with a bit of toastiness. Sweet and a bit chewy although it isn’t cloying. Lots of honey and spice and perhaps a bit of wheatiness as well. Orange peel and a little bit of cherry. Really quite interesting and a great holiday beer. It tastes like winter.
