Pours a hazy yellow-orange with a very thin head. Sweet honey aroma, not much else going on. I was nervous the flavor would be too sweet, but I was pleasantly surprised. Definitely a strong honey taste, very mead-like, but overall not as sweet as I was expecting and actually pretty enjoyable. Would I sit at a bar and pound these all night? Certainly not. But it is quite enjoyable in moderation.

Jan 4, 2010 A truly unique concoction. Aroma is of sweet honey and white grapes, closer to a mead than a beer. Pours a clear golden yellow capped with a minimal white head. The mouthfeel is soft, ending with a minty zing and long sweet honey aftertaste. Hides its 9% wallop well, but there is a bit of warming in the finish. A daring and well crafted brew from a daring and consistent brewery.

Jan 3, 2010 12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear golden yellow with a thin, fizzy white head that dissipates quickly. The aroma consists of alcohol followed by sweet honey and muscat grapes. The taste begins with the grapes and saffron that give way to rather pleasant barley flavor. The honey, not overpoweringly sweet, really comes out on the palate, leaving a sticky mouthfeel. Certainly a unique beer.

Jan 2, 2010 Bottle. Clear golden yellow body. Looks a lot like a typical BMC offering with a thing white head. Aroma is sweet with a lot of grape and alcohol smell. Smells very fruity. Taste follows the aroma with a lot of white grape and is still kind of boozy. Very good though with a small tart bite. Body is light to medium. Kind of a dry beer.

Jan 2, 2010 I expected this to be like mead, and it sort of is... but not quite. There is a lot of honey and you can taste the grapes and other flavors somewhere in there. Soft and fairly easy to quaff.

Jan 1, 2010 12 fl. oz bottled on 09/15/09. The pour is copper like a brand new penny with a thin off-white head. The aroma is pleasant and subtle and mild with some malts, grapes and barley. A medium to full body with an oily, honey-like texture. The taste is significantly more complex than the aroma and quite powerful. There is honey sweetness, biscuit-like undertones, and a vaguely spiced aftermath. Very enjoyable brew and I wish I boiught more than one.

Dec 30, 2009 Aroma is malty and sweet - virtually no head to speak of. The mouthfeel is carbonated and thin (nice) very different - it does taste like a cross between a Chardney Wine, and a Tripel - very interesting flavor. I do like it. Hides the 9% ABV very well.

Dec 29, 2009 Pours a clean golden color. Very thin white head. Aroma has a lot of grape, sweet banana, and a fruity brown sugar. A solid concord grape flavor with a nice spice and a huge amount of caramel and honey sweetness. Very low carbonation.
