Angeloregon (2002), Portland, Oregon, USA Apr 15, 2007 Poured a maize yellow body and beady and small silken almond head. Nose was slight with smoke and pilsnerish. Prevalent rauch flavor was quite satisfying. Alcohol hidden well n crispy, gritty grain finish. Wulfstan (481), California, USA Apr 14, 2008 Updated: May 15, 2008This is a pungent and strongly flavoured, but enjoyable malt-liquor type. It is dark, slightly orangish yellow with a medium white head that immediately dissipates to a thing foamy ring. The aroma is pungent strongly fruity with musky grain, alcohol notes, and an unusual vegetable quality and a hint of pine. The taste is similarly pungent, very fruity with that same unusual vegetable quality that I recognize but can’t quite place and some grain and a hint of pine. It has a full-bodied, warm, faintly meaty, spicy alcoholic quality similar to something like Steel Reserve but much more smooth, pleasant, and easy to drink. It goes pretty well with Indian food and is fairly enjoyable with a rather unique taste. waolsen (1013), Littleton, Colorado, USA Aug 10, 2007 bottle. golden pour with frothy white head. spicy, sour, wheat and grain aroma. sweet malts. not too bad. jimhilt (1427), Bow, New Hampshire, USA Jul 30, 2008 Pours a three finger white head that vanishes leaving no lace. Crystal clear amber color. Light carbonation and light-medium bodied. Maybe a sweet nose. Flavor is sweet but hops are trying to balance, menthol in the background. $3.45 for a 650ml bottle from Colonial Spirits Acton, Ma.
Arayaga2 (769), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 15, 2006 Weird musty rum smell with a cidery hint that makes me think of fusel alcohol. Taste is smoky and lightly sweet with a watery mouth presence. $2.50/650ml
