Pours with very little head. Fruity aroma is overpowered by yeast. Light copper/dark amber color. Not much in the way of flavor. Decent mouthfeel. Okay. Cheers!

Slim, yellowish-orange head, fast gone, orange-golden, nearly ochre beer. Grain, and a very, very faint initial whiff of vinegar, later something spicey as preserved ginger and orange peel - or mouldy lemons. Again citrus in the taste, most likely orange zeste again. Hint of acidity, rather citrus than acetic, this time - but that pinch of ginger is still there, as well as some honey. Fizzy MF initially, though no apparent pearling. Falls flat afterwards. Brew seems tired, past its prime, somehow - though not the bottledate. Lightly lightstruck? Not very inspiring, anyway.

Pours a pretty golden color, lacing white head. Not much aroma. This beer must have sat on the shelves too long because it was was past its prime. Yeast was overpowering.

Candy aroma. Very sweet and fruity with plums, raisins, maybe some grapes. the taste was the same. balanced, smoothe, fruity as all hell. Grapes mainly. I dig it. its fruity, no harsh flavors, quite drinkable and etc etc. Very nice, dare i say im impressed. nice medium, heavy body, the perfect amount of carbonation.

Golden color, with a large, white head. Aromas of hops and fruit. Flavors are sweet malt, fruit, and bananas. Body seems just right. Better than I expected.

A medium sized white colored head. The coloring of the body is a very light gold with lots of carbonation bubbles. The aroma is vanilla ice cream, peaches and banana bread. Teh flavor is sweet with bananas, cinnamon and bready witha slight clove finish. This is light and too sweet. Could also use more body.
