Pours golden amber with a light white head. Aroma is bitter almonds with kiwi, peach. Taste is honey and bitter almonds with some yeasty flavors. Quite winey but very good. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Enjoyed this brew of history. To be honest, I only bought it for the nerd factor, but the brew was actually pretty tasty to boot. Great label as well. Pours a cloudy golden yellow, with a generous white fizzy head on top. Disappears quickly, little to no lacing. Has a very nice golden, dry and piney taste, with golden raisins, white wine, and honey notes.

They have done it again. Full-bodied and true to their description. Cloudy, tastey, old-school and ancient ale. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

ej (326) - Hauglandshella, NORWAY - MAR 31, 2013
Light golden and hazy. Not much of head formation. Very spiced aroma. Strang, complex and very unorthodox. Taste is pretty similar. Never had a beer anything like this. I can’t say I really enjoyed it, but it was interesting.

ClubGonzo (2687) - Bergen, NORWAY - MAR 31, 2013
Bottle, shared with Bergen Beer Geek Tasting Crew. Pours a clear light orange body with a small white head. Nose is very spicy and rather interesting: both the saffron and honey (as advertised) are present, but the white grapes play a more subtle role. Very sweet, but nice. Taste is honey, saffron, sweet malt tones, citrus, grape peel and hints of almonds. Dry, wood-like finish, soft to medium carbonation, medium body. Interesting stuff, but to be enjoyed in small portions for sure.
