22oz. Bottle: Got as an extra from phaleslu; THANKS Peter! Aroma of malt, nuts, almonds, Earth, light salt, Agave, corn, and cooked cauliflower. Poured amber in color with a medium-sized, creamy, dense, off-white head that diminished but lasted throughout. Clear. Very sparkling. Flavor is lightly sweet and slightly bitter. Tastes of malt, corn, grain, and cardboard. Light to medium body. Slick texture. Average carbonation. Lightly sweet corn and grain finish.

It poured an orange color with a white head. The aroma was agave, fruit, some caramel malt and slight dirt notes. The flavor was agave, caramel, flowers and some vegetables. A very decent Agave Ale.

UPDATED: FEB 12, 2012 22oz bottle pours a golden orange color with a small white head. The aroma is agave, other fruit, caramel malt and some slight dirt notes. The flavor is caramel, agave, flowers, pepper and vegetables.

bottle... medium honey gold, mostly clear, thick white head, stays forever... the aroma is really sweet, has to be the Agave, a bit syrupy, a little green vegetable on the back... tastes terrible, over carbonated but flat, generic sugar, wet dog, terrible finish

Pours a clear yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of agave, grass, caramel, and mango. Flavor of agave, cardboard, caramel, grain, and some earthiness.

22oz bottle from Pick’s poured into a shaker. Pours a slightly cloudy orange with a small bit of white head. Sweet aroma of candied sugar and a slightly off aroma...kind of like dirty socks. Taste is lightly sweet and lightly sour. Light bodied with a thin texture. Lively carbonation and not much of a finish. Overall, not bad. I’ve never had an agave ale so I have nothing to compare it to. Definitely interesting.

22oz. bottle courtesy of a trade from Strykzone. This poured a cloudy amber from a small gusher. Nose is sweet with the agave aroma. Medium body. Flavor is mild except for the agave. Drinkable. Just.

Clear orange with a fizzy white head. Strong doughy Belgian yeast aroma and taste with notes of agave and candy and a wheat bread finish.

22oz. bottle. Sweet, fruity, somewhat vegetal nose (courtesy of the agave, I guess), malty and honeyish. Lightly hazy medium amber color with a sparse, fine head. Flavor follows the aroma very closely, with a rather hefty dose of pale, honeyish, caramel malty sweetness throughout, coupled with a very gently tart, green, herbal component (again, this must be the agave), and very slight leafy hop flavors towards the finish. No real bitterness detected. Somewhat thin and lifeless on the palate with a watery, light-medium body. Rather strange, overall; somewhat interesting for being different, I suppose.

Sweet. Wheaty flavor. More malt then hops. Tried with fish but too sweet even for that.
