thanks to bockyhorsey for bringing this along to the tasting. now he has to start over!... this pours more orange than yellow with a fluffy white head that eventually fades to a film. bocky nailed the descriptor in the aroma... really wet and grassy with some orange and a touch of bloomy white mold. the flavor is much the same with a salty note to it. the palate starts and finishes sweet. it never dries out or gets a little funky... just follows the sweet path and doesn’t develop any character. very airy carbonation gives this a soft fluffy mouth feel.

Jul 20, 2008 750ml bottle on clearance @ Sam’s for 3.99- Some other raters have complained about excessive carbonation, but this bottle has basically none. A bit of a lactic acid/ lambic/ raspberry smell, some sweet malt cowering behind it and a vapor trail of earthy hops. Sweet malty taste up front yields to some boozy flavors, slight hop bitterness. This might have been good at one time, but I can see now why this was on clearance- really don’t want to finish this glass of flat unenjoyable brew. At least the bottle is high quality, will reuse it for homebrewing.

Jun 11, 2008 Bottle from Swolf! Thanks for sharing wolf! Hazy yellow in color, small head. Raspberry aroma. Taste is a nice fruityness of raspberries and spices. Kind of tart, and lots of carbonation but overall a good summer time brew that I enjoyed on a hot day. Thanks again wolf

Vibrant light yellow orange - semi thick pour with a bubbly head. Big smell of fruit. Lemon citris flavor. Really highly carbonated. Not very enjoyable. Overly lemon.
