I could not get past the sweetness. I know, it is supposed to be that way but it was really like I took every sugary hard alcohol and put it into a beer. Palate was good though, but I could not drink it to save my life.

650 ml bottle from Bev4les. Pours a copper-amber color with a small white head that quickly faded to nothing. The aroma is a bit unusual with something that smelled of sweetened carrots and candied yams. The flavor is pretty much the same with a bit of alcohol detectable in taste. The mouthfeel was heavy and syrupy. The finish was medium in duration and sweet. Overall: Not really to my liking, more defects than assets.

Transparent copper/amber. Aroma is very sharp, alcohol, and faint fruity esters. Flavor again has a bunch of alcohol, some floral hints and tiny bit of skunk. Other than that not much else.

Bottle wife got me for Christmas. Wet barley grain aroma. Copper body with good foamy white head. Floaters in inside the pint glass looked like you just dumped a full container of fish food in the tank. Bid shot of sediment sitting on botton of glass on finish. Barley wheat flavor along with some caramel for balance. Alcohol showed it angry presence on the palate with that yeasty shot of sediment and think I need some asprian and go to bed. Quality brew brew here lot going on.

Appearance: Pours a lightly hazy, orange-yellow body with a thin, white head on top. Smell: Tangy, sweetish aroma caramelized wheat malt, honey, fresh wheat-heavy dough, bananas, and a big mug full of peach schnapps. Taste: All at once, it’s floral and fruity, with a strong taste of pureed peaches and bananas. Wheaty dough flavor. Big kick of honeyish sweetness. Touch of caramel. A resounding moderate bitterness scatters the malts but is never overbearing. Fruity finish with a warming schnapps character. Mouthfeel: Medium-full body. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: Quite fruity and quite good. Sure, I’d have another!
