CaptainCougar (4599), Rockville, Maryland, USA Apr 15, 2007 Sampled at the brewery on 11/30/06: Pours a clear deep golden with a thin ring of white head. Sweet apricot and honey aroma has a nice pale malty sweetness. Body starts fairly full and sweet with nice fruity citric apricots and floral honey notes. Well-balanced and incredibly drinkable given the abv. Snojerk321 (879), San Diego, California, USA Oct 11, 2006 This was simply an awsome brew!! You could barley even taste the 10.5 in this guy. On tap @ the Linda Vista Brewery. Aroma of sweet honey. I tasted some caramel malts to go along with the outstanding honey presance. Bartzilla (379), San Diego, California, USA May 7, 2006 Draft from: All Over Town. This is a nice, rare treat from the BP folks. It’s somewhat sweet, peachy colored and will get you looser than a sack of wet mice if you have more than a couple pints. Best part is that girls LOVE this stuff. This is good because at 10.5%, St Ides doesn’t even grease the hinges that efficiently. This beer’s a work of art and suddenly I’m an artisan. beeryum (652), Norcross, Georgia, USA Feb 10, 2006 Draft from BP - early December notes. Honey yellow and clear, with a medium head. Honey apricot aromas - sweet but not overly sweet. Moderately sweet apricot and honey flavors, with just a touch of hops and some light caramel notes. Smooth. Fruit beers are usually not my thing, and neither are honey-based beers or meads. Fairly warming. This was nicely balanced and very drinkable - fruity and sweet but not too sweet. Not my style, but I would go for more of this in the future if I could.
