nhorween (554), New York, New York, USA Oct 4, 2008 Tap at Blind Tiger. Cloudy gold color with an eggy head. Aroma of banana, allspice, clove, bubblegum. Sweetness is right there with light spices. Flavor is less interesting. Almost minty right before the finish, pithy lemon notes. Clean malts. I need to rerate this one for sure.

Suttree (2404), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Nov 27, 2008 On tap, Barley’s, Asheville. Pours gold, as one might expect. Nice mish mash of aromas - white wine, herb, grains - and a similiar mix of flavors. The Bride thought she picked up Thyme, and I got white wine and some woody notes. Nice and tasty. goldtwins (3747), Nesconset, New York, USA Nov 26, 2008 Poured a hazed gold-yellow color with a small white head. Spicy aroma with a light toasted malt character. Pepper and clove notes that carry over, although milder, to the flavor. Light short malt taste with a long spiced dry finish. Light-medium body that almost has a refreshing quality.

The aroma was lightly sweet, tangy, spicy and peppery. The flavor was dryish tart and bitter with notes of citrus and pepper and a touch of cardboard underneath. The finish was lightly musty.
