Pours light orange with a small off-white head. Aroma of saffron and esters. Tastes like candy. I wonder why the college kids don’t go for this. Great stuff, if consumed in small quantities. The sweetness can overwhelm.

Sep 5, 2008 12 oz. bottle in trade from mar- thanks! Served in my trusty stein- poured transparent thin copper, medium carbonation, bubbly two finger head formed and became one finger in a few minutes. Aroma of malt, saffron, and grapes. Hits the mouth with a medium body, malt is noticeable, unique sweetness in the middle that last past the finish, finishes like a wine- dry but noticeable. Yet another to share with friends...

does not count  Sep 4, 2008 Pint. Strong barley-wine style ale with flavors of saffron and spice! We enjoyed this one slowly to help the flavors of honey and muscat really shine. Very unique, but I’ve come to expect the unexpected with Dogfish Head!

Sep 4, 2008 Poured a very nice bright golden color with small head. Aroma had great balance of hops, malt and what I am guessing is saffron. Initial drink is smooth with a medium to heavy mouthfeel. I tasted barley malt, grapes and a touch of honey on palate. Finish is dry like a cider or chardonnay. Not an everyday beer but would be good for a nice 5 course dinner. Aftertaste lingers!?!

Sep 3, 2008 What can u say about DFH? They make extraordinarily well thought out beers. I have yet to come across a bad beer from them. I come from the wine world, and definately this beer contains wine nuances with the muscat grapes, it is mineral, floral and fruity all at the same time. This not a typical beer, not an IPA, Pale Ale, Stout, nothing like these, it might have some similarities to a Belgian Ale, but that is where it ends... I like this one a lot. Will have again as a replacement for a complimentary white wine.

Sep 2, 2008 On Tap, Pours a cloudy golden color with a fluffy white head that dissipates quickly. Sweet and Fruity, spice and yeast dominate. I thought it was a triple at first that was my impression of it. To me it was a bit too sweet, and alcohol was overly present with a faint aroma.
