24.8cl bottle from Total Wine (Tampa). Pours a clear, deep orange with an amber glow, frothy white head heavily laces glass and is retained throughout consumption. Smells mediciny with phenol in the nose and notes of pear and spice. Taste is initially sweet with a kick of white sweet wine that gives way to alcohol and honey with a lingering alcohol burn in the finish. We experienced the high alcohol content to be very noticeable and somewhat overpowering making it difficult to discern other flavors.

Jan 5, 2009 A bit underrated, not nearly as terrible as some of the ratings suggest. Pours a nice blond color with a thin white head. Aroma is grass and wheat, with a touch of lemon zest. Flavor is much the same, with vanilla and malt. Medium bodied and not sticky. Actually fairly good.

Jan 3, 2009 Pours kind of Pale Ale ish with no head, but some big bubbles around the outside of the glass. Nose is cough syrup and yeast. The flavor is better by far, with some malt complexity with fruit and candied sugar. It doesn’t have a lot of heat in the flavor, but the throat burn lasts a bit.

Dec 31, 2008 Drank this with fellow taster oldrtybastrd from this site. This poured a clear yellow with some spicy aroma and fruit. This had a lot of alcohol taste with a lot of yeast to back it up. This was not my favorite of this type.

Dec 27, 2008 Pours a cloudy copper with a minimal head. Malty aroma with some funky fruit character and hop. Flavor is equally funky with yeast, creamy vanilla, and a sweet finish. Odd, and not necessarily in a good way.
