I really enjoyed this beer. It pours a hazy amber with a quickly fleeting head. There’s a really interesting fruitiness (I’m going to assume it’s the hawthorn). A bit of honey on the nose. Fairly mellow, but still flavorful. Really tasty.

Jul 4, 2008 Bottle. Pours a golden body with a white body. Well they said it all rice, honey, grapes some orange. Some hoppy floral character. I kept thinking at least its 9%.

Jul 1, 2008 Bottle sample at DFH/beerbistro dinner. Deep golden with a thin white head. Aroma is interesting - earthy and spicy with a strong floral honey character - really nice! Body is soft. Flavour is wonderfully sweet and complex - honey, grapes, apple and spice - with a quick, warm finish. Always great to see experiments like this work out so well.

Jun 22, 2008 Bottle; courtesy of kleyland, with a little bit of age on it. Pours a dirty oarange color with a thin and very short lasting head. Weird pour. Aroma of honey, apples, grape; a touch medicinal, but no to offputting. Flavor of honey and grapes mostly; only a touch sweet, not overly. Medicinal with a touch of spice. Can see how this would be hit or miss for some. To me it wasn’t a complete miss, but nothing very exciting. Interesting concept though.

Jun 18, 2008 75cl bottle from Willow Bend Liquors (Tampa, FL). Pours a golden color with a thin white-tan head that dissipates quickly. Seems very carbonated. Aroma is grape, spice and flowers. Flavor is fresh fruit, grapes and spices with a quick finish. Well-balanced ale that is very interesting.
