Aroma of white rasins, plums, caramel, floral hops. Appears a crystal clear deep copper color with a small yellow head that dissipates quickly. Sharp acidic flavor of berries and plums, much too fruity, with an sharp acific hop bite and finishing very boozy. Palate is medium and appropriate. Overall, a bit less than the sum of its parts, due to an extremely unbalanced flavor.

May 21, 2008 Aroma of some fruit, malt, and alcohol. Flavor is very malty with some slight citrus and caramel character. I think I tasted some raisins as well. Pretty alcoholic after kick. Good brew. May buy again.

Mar 28, 2008 On draught at the brewpub in Appleton, Wisconsin. Pours a hazy rusty-colored amber brew with a fast dissolving off-white head that quickly dissipates to a fine film and an off-white ring. Aroma of some dry caramel malt, a touch of raisin, dark pitted fruits and a touch of citrus zest. Taste is medium bodied, very little carbonation with flavors of tart brown sugar, a touch of apple, raisin, dry caramel malt, and light citrus zest. Finish is slightly metallic, mild bitterness that lingers around after the finish with some light aftertaste of raisin, brown sugar and dark berries.
