| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 1, 2008 Bright orange in colour, thin pink coloured head, light lacing. The aroma is very floral, perfumey, peaches, cherries, sugary sweetness. The flavour is of rose petals, melons, lots of mixed berries, light tartness with a moderate sweetness. Sweet creamy mouthfeel, medium body, medium carbonation. Finishes floral, sweet, lingering and prickly.
This was quite nice, lovely mouthfeel, soft and refreshing. As bizarre as it is good.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 26, 2008 12 oz. bottle on 6/25/2008.
Aroma - Distinctly floral backed up by honey, peaches, apricot, and a dose of maybe cinammon?
Appearance - Deep amber with a garnet cast, fine bubbly white head that is, unfortunately, short lived, and leaves behind only sparse lace.
Flavor - Delicately sweet flavors of light fruit accented by some subtle floral notes. A gentle citrus tartness and soft bitterness slowly ascends even out the finish.
Palate - Light to medium body, soft carbonation, smooth, leaves a lightly dry palate that complements the flavor and aroma.
Overall - This is a delicate and nicely balanced beer. Refreshing, drinkable, and not overdone. An easy beer to enjoy, and a good one to have on hand for those new to craft beer. FLnative80 (174), Orlando, Florida, USA

Texture is a little thin with a dry finish. Flavor is rather tart, but finshes sweet strawberry. An interesting change of pace. I like it. notalush (2647), Denver, Colorado, USA
