thanks to bbb63(i think) who was pouring this at logans gabf weekend. yellow dark pour with a thin white head. alcohol and marshmallow nose. sugary wheat taste with a bitter finish , very nice. there is a fruitiness here that is nice. the syrupy wheat flavor hides the alcohol well.

Sampled at the Ohio Labor Day gathering, provided by BBB63. Light copper/golden body, thin-medium off-white head. Caramely aroma with hints of DMS (butterscotch!). Fruity, bready, caramely aroma with plenty of clover honey, sugary, rather full and creamy. Medium-bodied and refreshing. The DMS doesn’t distract the palate to a significant degree. Not bad, not excellent...meaning quaffable.

Nectur of the Gods, golden honey hues with spicey nose that carried into taste, would have liked more head (but who doesn’t); just the right carbonation, maybe...just maybe slightly syruppy, but who cares! I would have it an anniversary ale (like new years or winter rather than summer) Choice of the Host for Labor Day Middle of No Where party 2005, who do I have to thank for this????

Bottle acquired in trade with BBB63 (thanks!). Poured a medium amber color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of toffee, peaches and caramel. Tastes of peaches, caramel, citrus and other fruity aromas. Light alcohol bite in the finish. Lightly sweet.
