tedovertu (133), Apple Valley, Minnesota, USA Jun 19, 2008 Updated: Jun 30, 2008 Bottle, Pretty good sized rocky head that doesn’t last very long. Hazy light amber body. Light hoppy aroma with hints of oranges. Medium bodied with lively carbonation. Average duration and light sweet finish. This beer goes down way to easy for a 10.5% ABV beer. Not bad but paid way too much for it.
SuperDave70 (832), Beautiful Sunny Mesa, Arizona, USA Oct 11, 2008 Clear deep gold pour with a big creamy head that lasts throughout the glass. Good fruity aroma with some malty sweetness and spicy hops, and a lot of alcohol. Flavor is similar, fruit and alcohol being the main components, though the alcohol fades as it warms, (and as you drink more!) Just a touch of hop spiciness on a pretty dry finish. Good brew! Bungalo22 (305), Bridgeport, Connecticut, USA Oct 10, 2008 Poured into a snifter a dark yellow with a nice but small head. It is smooth and fruity but the alcohol does come though. SamGamgee (593), Santa Cruz, California, USA Oct 10, 2008 33cl bottle. Dark gold, clear, with lasting foam. Apple, pear, and spicy hops in the aroma. Alcoholic and sweet, with some pear and tangy yeast snap. Medium bodied with ample carbonation. Decent drinkability, but I feel that this would be a lot better if it was toned down a couple percentages. Indulgence (124), Ajo, Arizona, USA Oct 6, 2008 Very good beer for 10.5 ABV, very smooth and very drinkable. Excellent balance of light colored fruits of apricot, peaches from the yeast and some sweet malts, sourdough and a little must along for the ride, goes down very well, just a noticable perceptible tinge of alcohol. Finish is smoooooth and velvety and some sweetness hits the spot, and semi dry. markwise (287), Satellite of Love, Florida, USA Sep 29, 2008 750 from Total Wine Clearwater, courtesy of JimmieG. It pours a clear amber-gold with a white pillowy head. Sugary bread, apple, and an almost berry sweetness come out in the aroma. The flavor is sweet with a sugary-bubble-gum-like finish. Excellent golden ale.
