1.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 2/20
Shit on a shingle, this beer is sweet. And as I struggle for adjectives to use in its description, I’m left ashamed of myself for being such a early-thirties cynic. But this bottle is bad, bad beer, sickeningly saccharine, with a funky, soured-yeast aftertaste that refuses to leave your palate long after you’ve given up on this pint. (8/08)

Tasted on 5/10/11 from a 12oz bottle obtained as an extra in a trade, 2008 vintage. Pours cloudy burnt orange with an average white head that quickly recedes to nothing at all. The nose is banana, fruity yeast, bread and caramel malt, with a bit of nutty oxidation beginning to set in. The flavor is quite sweet with caramel, brown sugar, and a bit of light underlying banana. The body is full with light carbonation and a long, sweet finish.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Poured from a bottle, very golden and foggy after a while. The head is very clean, frothy at the top, which settles into messy lacing. This one smells very sweet, floral even, with dark fruits. To be more specific I’d say plum, maybe some citrus but also sweet bread - like pound cake. Towards the end of the tasting I’d say light cinnamon spice, and that nice warmth of the alcohol at the end of every sip. This is a very filling golden ale, and very nice on the palate as well. I’d recommend this brew paired with a bitter-sweet dessert, and to be savored, not rushed down.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
BREW FEST 2011! Aroma was a little yeasty and fruity. Poured a nice golden/amber color. I wasn’t too impressed with either the aroma nor the pour but the flavor was nice. A little yeasty and a light citrus and wheat-like flavor. I liked this beer but I’d rather have a panic attack if I was going for a Holy Mackerel.
