2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20 ChainGangGuy (4123) - Marietta, Georgia, USA - DEC 25, 2009
Appearance: Pours a delicately hazed, dark gold body with a thin, white head.
Smell: Very little beyond a thin, weak scent of cranberry.
Taste: Light, crackery maltiness which quickly transitions into a light taste of cranberries. Dry finish where the flavors rush out leaving you with an effervescent sip of club soda.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium-plus carbonation.
Drinkability: Mild maltiness mingled with the cranberry flavoring. Not too terribly much else to it, really.

Sampled from a 22oz. bottle. Pours a semi-clear reddish-pink orange color with a small head. A little fizzy if I can define it that way. Aroma is slightly tart, with touches of mild malt. Flavor is a touch of tart fruit, but that’s about it. Drinkable, but otherwise pretty average.

Bottle. Sweet Jesus, what was I thinking?? Popped open the bottle and it exploded all over, big time gusher. What remained poured a hazy pinkish amber color with a huge, dense, off white head. Aroma is light fruits, light malt. Flavor is tart cranberry, soap, light malts. Palate is medium to light bodied, way over carbonated, finished tart. Not veery good.

Bottle... Cloudy peach-colored ale with a mid-sized, creamy, off-white head. Great retention. The aroma is basically “canned peaches meet caramel malt.” Tangy, lightly sweet flavor with good bitterness. Medium to full-bodied and creamy with lively carbonation. Fruity, tannic, gently bitter finish. Thanks go out to DragonStout for sharing the bottle!

Courtey Dragonstout. Pours a light amber color with a medium, light tan head. Smells pretty fruity, alot of malts, and yeast characters round out the aroma. The flavor isquite frity as well, you get a little of the cranberry, alot of Belgian yeast, and some big maltiness. The finish is fruity sweet with a light bitter aftertaste. Nothing great here, but drinkable.
