mhelgason (415), Charlotte, North Carolina, USA Jul 25, 2008 bottle from brawleys (limited #1884 batch). stated on bottle that ABV is 8.5%. large off white creamy mostly dissapating head into clear golden body with okay lacing present. aromas of ripe fruit, a touch of honey, and a bit of metal. Wait where are the hops? flavor is moderate to strongly sweet a minimal touch of bitterness comes through in the finish. watery texture. moderate finish duration. average carbonation. okay but not sure this is really an Am strong. ross (1503), charlotte, North Carolina, USA Jun 17, 2008 Growler that my friend brought me back from the brewery. Thanks. Brown color, light yellow in a way, no head until beer is poured, white head comes through, sort of. There isnt much to the smell of this one, what is there? Corn perhaps? Alcohol - for sure, anything else? Not really.. Taste is smooth and fairly easy to drink for what it is. A drinkable beer, but I think that is about it, nothing to rant and rave over. Not really much balance, where are the hops? gottalottaibu (226), charlotte, North Carolina, USA May 11, 2008 numbered bottle shared during charlotte beer week. deep golden yellow with a light frothy head. faint aroma of lemon and grass with hint of malt. flavor was similar. light and clean. alcohol was greatly hidden (8.5%). kp (6000), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Feb 24, 2008 Date: 02/02/2008
