jcwattsrugger (4045), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Oct 15, 2007 on tap-pours a retaining thin off white head that laces and amber/copper color. Aroma is medium malt-very sweet, fruity. Taste is very malty-very sweet, fruity-apple/plum, some alcohol. Smooth. Occasional. 5000 (2400), Hardened Liver, Washington, USA Apr 23, 2006 Draught @ Brouwer’s Café during Hard Liver 2006: Vibrant amber, very bright, slight copper, thin white head, falls quickly, virtually no lacing or carbonation. Almost seems still. Sickly sweet nose, seems syrupy, phenols, slight pine.   Medicinal alcohol on the tongue, sweet, pale malt, more piney than hoppy. Unbalanced, with too much sweetness and alcohol. Fairly thin too. Meh...
