This 2007 corked and caged bottled brew poured a large sized head of foamy finely sized tan colored bubbles that left behind a very hazy dark orange brown colored body with no visible carbonation. The aroma was thin with brown malty notes. The mouth feel was crisp and tingly from start to finish. The flavor was of brown malts mild hops with a mild vinous note that came out after it warmed up.

Bought this in Quincy, MA in an 11 oz bottle that had the same description as on this site (but very different label). Sweet, honey-ish scent. Thin, white head atop a cloudy, deep, honey-coloured body. Decent lacing. Taste is a mix of sweet fruit and hop bitterness with a lasting bitterness at the end.
