Unclear medium yellow orange color with a small, virtually none appearance, virtually none lancing, fully diminishing head. Aroma is moderate malty, fruity - apple notes, moderate hoppy, alcohol - whisky. Flavor is moderate to light heavy sweet with a long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft.

Pours hazy golden with a loosely bubbleed white head. Aroma is musty, flavor has notes of apple, hops, and a dry finish with warming.

Jul 5, 2008 750, thanks SuzyGreenberg! Pours hazy apricot with a lacy white head. Aroma of alcohol, yeast, apples. Tastes like apple vodka. Dry woody finish punctuated with alcohol heat. I think this one would benefit from some time to cool down and calm down a bit.

Jun 22, 2008 750 mL bottle thanks to beastiefan2k. Pours golden color with dark floaties and a fizzy white head. The aroma is very oaky with lemon, muffin, brown sugar, and just a hint of apple (but nowhere near what I expected). The flavor is spicy with some strong oak, some lemon and banana, and alcohol in the finish. Some zesty bitterness bounces around throughout. Apple is in the aftertaste, but not much of anywhere else. Decent, but honestly a little bit disappointing.

Jun 22, 2008 Bottle shared by emacgee and aubreya. Thanks yall! Always excited to try a new CL beer. Pours a hazy orange golden with no head. Nose is boozy, apples. some extra gold type hops, and some yeasty sweetness. Flavor is very similar--apple brandy really comes through strong and doesn’t mesh too well with the extra gold in my opinion. May improve with more time in the bottles or barrels.
