Bottle, 2008. Pours a clear orange with a small white head. Aroma of sweet fruits, sweat, slight sourness. Flavor of apple juice with a slight sour/funky twang and some breadiness/wheat malt. Palate is a little watery. Nice, sweet, and drinkable.

Bottle from MidWay Mart in Denton, TX. Pours a great looking clear amber with thick rocky white head. Aroma is fruity and malty. Taste is semi sweet, fruity, malty, faint tart, some spice, nice bitter, alcohol is hidden well. Mouthfeel is medium body with med.-high carbonation. Over all, very enjoyable tasty beer.....Has a little warmth to it as well.

From bottle. Part of April Dayton Beertasting event. Pours amber with very little head. Aromas of malt and spice. Tastes similar to the nose with sweet malt. Very smooth and easy drinking.

This is dated on the label from 2005/2006, bought in 09/08, didn’t realize it was this old. Trying out a new liquor store, bottles were dusty if you get my meaning...I think this guy may have turned. No head, but a pretty amber pour. Kind of flat, somewhat sour and skunky, but with notes of raisins and nuts, with a sickly sweet phlegmy aftertaste. I think this may have turned, barely drinkable.
