4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a very nice unclear golden, with a nice fluffy white head. Aroma of honey, floral notes and spices. Creamy body with lots of fruit and honey upfront, with some alcohol and caramel lingering in the background. Finishes sweet with some alcohol and honey lingering. I’m afraid this one is a little more complex than my rating lets on!
4.8 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 20/20
A beautiful, clear beer, really easy to drink and delicious. I like almost all of Dogfish Head beers and this is one of my favorites that I will buy whenever I see it. I don’t think it’s always available and this is another product the Ancient Chinese got right.

11/2011 SBF: Pours a light yellow with a white head. Aroma is of apricot, sweet; not hoppy in aroma or flavor. Sweet, lightly malted. More like wine than beer, very good.
3.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
An interesting beer worth a try. It’s a little bit sweet with a hint of grapes and honey. The complexity is subtle to non-existent, but hey, what can you expect from a 9000 year old beer? :-) Seriously, the story alone is worth the small cost to try it at least once!

4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a hazy gold with a slight off white head. Very grapish aroma. Sweet upfront with a lot of fruit and grape and finishes dry and a little sourish. Overall very good and it went great with the panko crusted seared yellow fin tuna.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Has an apple cider aroma. I can taste the honey and fruit flavors. Generally I shy away from fruit tones in beer but I really like this one. It also is a bit dry.
