3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: OCT 27, 2010
Drank an 11.2oz bottle.
Appearance: Huge yeast chunks make for an ugly, rust appearance. Only a half-finger of off-white, foamy head (hangs around until the end, though).
Aroma: Light fruits and alcohol. Not very potent.
Taste: Very similar to the witbier with light fruits like apricot and peach and a sour white grape. A touch of orangepeel, but otherwise not very robust. Leaves a rich caramel aftertaste.
Mouthfeel: Thin, but doesn’t feel as sharp as the other St. Bernie’s beers do.
Drinkability: Surprisingly refreshing for a 7.5% ABV beer. Drinks easier than I thought it would.
Overall: A tasty beer but nothing particularly special.

Bottle, a deep burnt golden pour with rocky white head, strong clover & sugarcane aromas, the strong flavours of honey & light caramel are balanced by perfumes of clover, sugarcane & allspice. The flavour and aromas on this beer play off each other. A smooth creamed body with a few spicy edges.
