375ml, capped and corked. Brewed with natural plums. Golden pour. No aroma of plums, it smells more like Duck Sauce. ChainGangGuy says off-brand Catsup. Kinda smells like day old sunny-side up eggs from Waffle House, covered in mustard. Flavor of a flat, sun-exposed can of Mountain Dew. Sweet and tart, spoiled sour, kinda tart. I LOVE IT! Distant sweet, tart plums. Sugary sweet and fun. Mostly just if Honey Mustard.

I hate to admit it but I love these sugary sweet crap drinks from chapeau. Now Daknole tells me this is plum, but it tastes, to me, like fermented marmalade. Good, tho, a cleaner flavor (less sugar) than many of their others. Bottle from Knightly Spirits, Orlando.

Another overly sweet beer from this brewery. Sugary sweet. Maybe not as bad as others, but still this is over the top.

Bottle shared with WeeHeavy. What’s up Jon? Your getting your but kicked in sour drinking. Time to hit GABF or something. A little bit of skunk. Light yellow color. Very sweet. Sourness is mild.

WeeHeavySD (3341) - San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA - JUL 3, 2009
Bottle shared by wetherel. Thanks John. Pours orangey with a tan head. Nose is very tart and a bit sweet. Taste is sweet with an over done amount of sugar and overall interesting plum brew.

fredandboboflo (1570) - East Setauket, New York, USA - JUL 2, 2009
Bottle. Aroma of tart and sweet fruits, some oak. A bit more oak in the flavor to go along with a tart base with balancing sugar. For me, the sweetness was nowhere near as overpowering as it is for others, and I found the beer to be pleasantly tart and oaky. Yes, this is clearly sweetened, but my tongue seems not to be offended by such a sacrilege.

LilBeerDoctor (2568) - East Setauket, New York, USA - JUL 2, 2009
Bottle. Pours a cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma of sweet fruit (I don’t specifically get plum, maybe apple and pear). Flavor is similar to a punched up apple juice. Slight sour prickliness. A touch of oak/wood in the finish. Very drinkable and enjoyable. Not spectacular nor that complex but super tasty! Certainly far from a nasty drain pour. These bad ratings are just sad. I don’t understand them. I was initially frightened to try this beer, but now I know not to believe the silly warnings in the future. 7/4/7/4/15 (3.7/5)

harrisoni (9609) - Ashford, Kent, ENGLAND - JUN 23, 2009
25cl bottle from Draken Geers. Pours a dirty old gold/brown colour opaque, virtually no head. Banana and pineapple aroma. Ugh this is pretty nasty, like home made sweet wine, tastes too sweet with too many fruit flavours not mixing particularly well together. Pretty awful. Yep that is pretty nasty and frankly a drain pour
