3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Dave’s BrewFarm Bumbled
Don’t remember exactly what Dave told me about this one, but it had something to do with honey, bees, flowers,...other than that, I’ve got nothing else. Gonna just open it up and dive right in.
Clear, pale crimson, deep amber coloring, prodigious foaming, creamy-white, lacy and lovely.
Aroma: sweetness, minor hops, nice and malty, and, yeah, I can pick up on the honey.
Taste: a little fire, here, but just a taste. Very smooth, bright, fruity malt is forward, and hops are hidden, as is alcohol, unless these are famous last words. Don’t I wish I had all kinds of info at my disposal, like what yeast or malts, or hops went in? Sure, but, whatever it was, the result is easy drinking and awesome-tasting.
A new sensation comes through, it’s the rise of the alcohol, very warming. Getting sweeter and delicious-er, as well. Some chocolate chiming in. How about that?

On tap at Dave’s Brew Farm. Murky deep copper with a thin quickly receding tan head. Aroma of honey, malt, caramel and light sugar and mild citrus. Taste is balanced with honey, citrus, light sugar and sweet malt. Tasty with moderate bitterness on the back end. The end of a great eight beer flight at the Brew Farm!
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
On draught during GTMW 2010 Festival in Madison, Wisconsin. Pours a hazy amber colored brew with a creamy off-white head that has some nice retention and lacing. Aroma of caramel malt, some light citrus and a touch of honey. Taste is medium bodied, with flavors of caramel, floral hops, a hint of honey, and some brown sugar. Finish is semi-sweet, malty and some mild flowery hop aftertaste that slowly disappears. Missing the smoked honey and bitterness I remember from the Dave’s Brewfarm Fire Bee but this version has a tad more spice.
