2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle from T’s in Tempe, AZ. Label said 9%. Light amber color with a frothy beige head. Sweet caramel aroma. Medium body with frothy carbonation. The flavor is roasted caramel - suggestive of cola. There’s heat. The finish approaches astringent. Interesting, but not my choice in any situations I can envision.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle from Belmont Party. Poured a clear golden color with an average frothy white head that diminished slowly with fair lacing. Moderate grassy hop and alcohol aroma. Medium body. Medium bittersweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of short duration. Drinkable high alcohol brew.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours gold with a white head. Smells of apples, honey, some crisp malt. Tastes moderately dry with some fruity esters thrown in. Better than their other offerings I’ve had.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottled. Clear medium golden pour with a short-lived white head. Aroma of sweet corn adjuncts & honey with wafts of alcohol singing the nose hairs. Flavor was about the same as the nose... heavy corn, honey, and alcohol.. all those sugars made it really hard to drink.. sticky, sharp finish with a chalky bitterness. Highly viscous around the edges with a slick middle. Not good.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle: Golden yellow, light head, fuzzy. Light grain, minerals and sweet sharp yeast and corn in the nose. Big impact of grain and light bitterness. A little balanced actually and comes across a little more like an american malt liquor. Not bad in comparison.
