Pours red amber with a light beige head. Aroma of fruity esters. Lighter side of medium bodied with average carbonation. Flavor of caramel, brown sugar, berry, and tea. Slightly above average sweetness. Hops have faded out of this, but surprisingly this is still an enjoyable brew (no isovaleric notes) punkrkr27 (606), Berkley, Michigan, USA Sep 18, 2009 Updated: Sep 24, 2009Opaque ruby-copper pour with a small dense white head. Sweet dark fruit and caramelized brown sugar aroma with orange peel, cherry, and pine. Lots of caramel flavor with notes of red apples, orange peel and sharp pine. Little pepperiness on the finish. A bit on the cloying side. Sticky medium body with moderate carbonation and some notable alcohol on the finish. Note: After trying to drink a glass of this for about a half an hour it became so cloying that I couldn’t finish it. Knocked my rating for flavor from 7 down to 4 because of this. MrRoss (614), Delta, British Columbia, Canada Sep 18, 2009 From Larry’s Liquors in Pt Roberts, WA. Bet YOU haven’t been there! A good looking beer, with a nice hazy copper body and a creamy ivory head. Aroma was a pleasing meld of malt and spices, beneath a blanket of bitter hop. Rich on the palate, almost overly so and wasn’t the finish the same. Totally enjoyable.

Refreshing if a tad weak on taste. For the ABV the booze is well hidden. Pipper (225), Ohio, USA Sep 14, 2009 Poured from bomber into glass. Clear port color, light carbonation, very little off-white head. Aroma like boozy cherries and raisins. Pretty smooth over the palate, alcohol present but not as complex as the aroma which is kind of a let-down. Still a nice beer and enjoyable.
