Golden Promise was the World's first truly Organic Beer.

Hazy and luminescent with really thick white head. Aroma of pressed flowers, talcum powder, custard apple in the distance. Aftertaste slightly tart, fruity. Tangy finish suggests some oxidation of this bottle.

Hazy orange with no head. Juiced malts, berry, mocha toffee and dried fruit to smell. Juicy body and caramel, chocolate flavors coupled with berry and fruit qualities. Overall the palate was a little thin and the brwe didnt come together all that well. Note: This brew improved dramatically as it warmed.
