Tap. Pours clear yellow with average, creamy white head; short retention and spare lacing. Aroma is citrus fruit, biscuit malt, floral hops, light pine, and and faint yeast. Flavor is sweet malt forward with good supporting fruit esters and faint hops; dry, semi-sweet finish. Light/medium body, medium carbonation, and medium warmth.

Pours a golden honey-like color into my glass with no head at all. Aroma of grapes, honey and saffron, taste follows the nose, tasty and fairly easy to drink for what it is. I couldn’t drink this every day but man is this a nice treat. A great beer overall

A - Pours a cloudy orange-yellow with a thin layer of frothy white head. The head fades down at a normal pace leaving behind a touch of lace. S - Aroma mix of sweet honey and grapes, saffron and other spices, and some bready flavors. There is a touch of lemon and some tartness as well. T - Starts off with sweet honey and white grape with some tartness and a touch of earthy flavors. Through the middle, some saffron and other spices come through with a bit of bready malt flavor. The finish is a mix of sweet honey and white grape with some earthy spices, and a bit of bready flavor. M - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Feels smooth with a sweet, tart, and dry finish. D - Very drinkable. Really interesting mix of flavors, but the beer as a whole is nicely balanced. The sweet flavors are a bit bold, but there are a lot of other flavors to balance.

Pours like a light lager, pale yellow and little head. The nose is of honey and sweet fruits. The taste was very dry and bitter with heavy taste of spoiled (corked) wine and vinegar. Not very pleasant to me.

Bottle. Pours macro yellow with a quickly dissipating head. There is minor lacing. Aroma is very winey and has a lot of green grape in it. Taste is a little sour with some grape flavor. The finish is pretty boozy for 9%. This is okay..

Pours very transparent golden with a very small white head. Aroma is of honey and bubblegum. Taste is sweet but very light on the tongue. Frothy mouthfeel, medium to high level of carbonation, thin, alcoholic.

The aroma of this beer is interesting - not what you find with a typical beer. Sweet smelling grape aroma with soft notes of honey. Not much head retention which is to be expected with a high alcohol beer. Powerful sweet grain taste with quite a bit of alcohol. Quite thick and dry. Quite interesting beer, but not to my liking. To much of an alcoholic punch to it.

Sweet and spicy with a cool back story!! Wonderful fizzy mouth feel! Cloudy light amber color. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

I tend to drink ipa’s, so this is not what I am used to. I appreciate what dogfish head is doing here and think it is worth trying for historical perspective, but one is enough for me... It is well crafted but not for my palate.
