Nice billowy head. Creamy mouthfeel. Unfiltered and that detracrs from the experience. Orange-gold color. Dark cherries, oranges, and lemons.. semi-dry finish.

12 oz bottle thanks to Scrizz! The first thing I notice with this is as I pour it into my glass, its a bit soda like in the head, pouring a dark coppery brown. What catches my eye however is the amount of shit floating around in my beer. It flows around like a ribbon being flown at a chinese festival. A bit disturbing I might say. The smell is acceptable in that it mainly smells of apples, like a fresh apple cider on a chilly October day. The taste is similar to the smell with a solid amount of sweetness to it. Very tasty as Im a big fan of apple cider. The sweetness however turns to borderline cloying as I continue on. Very smooth mouthfeel, with a barely detectable alcohol presence.

12 oz bottle from Bier Stein. Pours a clear, dark amber with a huge off white head that sticks around forever. Aroma is yeast, spices, light banana. Flavor is spicy and sweet, with an oddly biting aftertaste. Little bit of sour fruit in there. Not a bad beer, and at 10% for 1.99 it was a great value.

12 oz. bottle via trade with scrizzz - Pours a slightly hazy copper color with a one finger thick off white head. Lively carbonation. Light lacing. Aroma is esters, spice, and sweet bread. Flavor is sweet malt, esters, spice, and a touch of yeast. Medium to full body. Alcohol shows up just a bit in the finish. I think this one may sneak up on you. A nice beer. Thanks Clint.

Yeast/fruit aroma.... pours golden brown with a full head. Intense, sweet flavor - fruitcake/port that fades to a tangy, almost citrusy finish. Not bad - it masks its strength quite well, but it’s not terribly memorable or balanced.

Bonus bottle from scrizz, thanks Clint! Pours goldish orange with a tan head. Nose is sweet and yeasty. Taste is sweet and spicy and slightly tart. Not bad and the abv is well hidden.

Light brown with a modest off-white head. Sour and alcoholic aroma. Full-bodied with a foamy mouthfeel. Sweet then sour then bitter. A little spicy.

Bottle... Poured light amber/reddish-orange with a thing head that retained a little bit of lacing on the surface. Aroma of sweet, fruity sugars, wine, and sour/tart characters. A little too much carbonation I thought for the palate for the style. Sour and tart flavors up front with strong fruit flavors, bitter hops and malty grains. Finished with spices, grains and was a little soapy.
