demdeac40 (238), Etowah, North Carolina, USA Apr 1, 2009 Pours an orange amber with a nice off white head. Shows medium carbonation. The nose is sweet malt and a touch of hop. Almost a light hint of butterscotch in the background. Taste follows the malty sweet path and then a nice light bitterness on the finish. I always look forward to this beer each Winter. puboflyons (590), New Hampshire, USA Mar 28, 2009 From the 550 ml. bottle 2008-2009 batch with the mark of SI09H1. The pour is an attractive reddish-amber with a decent tan, puffy head and good lacing. The aroma is slightly malted and hoppy. Medium mouthfeel. Kind of bitter flavor and a tad tart. It was Not really bad but I don’t expect I would buy another. BREWMUSKCLES (1062), New Jersey, USA Mar 15, 2009 really mellow with bright flavor that is sweet malty and hoppy a favorite of mine from the start. aged fruit feel of alcohol and it is warming and indeed welcome. aroma like a fishtank right from the bottle but it mellows rather fast and exudes the fruit essence. i am not going to exactly be able to explain why i like this but i like it. peach like perfume to it almost apricot mouthfeel feel and the yeast surprisingly good ! curly (549), Nashville, Tennessee, USA Mar 12, 2009 Pours slight-hazy orange with a small tan head. Aroma is caramel, spice, butter and other spices. Tatse is a smooth caramel with a slight toffee bitterness on the finish. Mouthfeel is good and buttery as well. Rustyham (552), miami, Florida, USA Mar 11, 2009 A bit of a disappointment, It has a nice Anisette sting among other light spices, but no body to back it up. Thick head that quickly dissipates. Nice Mead-like color.
$10.29 per six pack at Tivoli Liquors in Miami Nebulor (109), , California, USA Mar 8, 2009 Mild caramel malt aroma with florals.
Clear light amber/copper color, no sign of sediment, minimal white head, has some action.
Sweet, eyewater, English Tea taste with malt and tangy esters in the flavor.
Medium bodied, resin/watery feel, with lively soft carbonation.
The tangy aftertaste is not smooth enough or fruity enough to be a session beer for me.
Cavie (1318), Fort Worth, Texas, USA Mar 8, 2009 Sour smell and tart taste. Makes your tongue tingle like a sour apple does. Not up to par. troopie (851), USA Mar 7, 2009 Bottle. Poured honey amber with lasting white head. Faint malt, and forest aroma. Malt flavour with a bit of hop. More alcohol flavour than what you would expect from a 6 per centum beer. Lasting malt flavour. This would be a better beer if they did less to it. Something of a disappointment after their other beers. But still, not a bad beer.
