3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: SEP 15, 2008 On tap at the Spuyten Duyvil, and only $5. Orangish pour with not much head. Didn’t realize the percentage on this one, and it was really easy to drink. Sweet bready notes on the nose, some malt and not a lot of hops on the palate. Notes of apples and nondescript other fruits. Brewers seemed a bit confused on what they were going for, but it wasn’t bad.

Apricot pour gives way to a small head. Non-descript aroma of wheat, yest and some malt. Flavor reminds me of about 20 other beers I have had. Not that it is bad, but nothing stands out at all. Nothing.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours too clear, light coppery orange. Boring. Boring. Bor-ring. Sweet grainy nose. Thin, quaffable. Bland, boring, but easy-going, like some people I know. Disappointing.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Golden-amber colour, but slightly dull. Not much head. The aroma is pale malts and light spice. Light spice and vague malt on the palate. Light caramel. Not finding the promised pandemonium; this is pretty bland.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a clear amber color with a thick, creamy, off-white head that leaves a little lacing. Aroma of sweet malty grain with some apples and a dash of hops. The flavor is almost overpoweringly sweet. Raisins and a grainy bitterness with some very noticeable alcohol notes. Some apricot and a little bit of vanilla in the finish. A medium to heavy body that leaves a bittersweet taste in the mouth.

Tampa. Fl. - Total Wines - 22 oz bottle oz bomber. Bright medium golden pour with a thin white head that dissipates quickly. Brief aroma of hard candy and fresh lake water. Flavor has some brief maple syrup, hint of cotton candy and perhaps some toffee. Nothing in here sets your taste buds on fire, but a pleasant diversion. Clean. even mouthfeel.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Deep golden in color with a fluffy off-white head of medium-sized bottles. The nose gives off sweet aromas of caramel, malt, candied oranges and bananas foster. In the mouth this was medium-bodied with nice richness in the midpalate as well as an oiliness. Simple but well-balanced.

You know the biggest problem with this beer? That it came in a 22oz bottle. It would’ve been a perfectly nice sipper with dinner, not to obrusive but nicely flavorful (a little citrus, a little pine, nice malt base), but a bomber size, I was ready to move on after half a bottle, and actually kinda resented it by the end of the bottle.
