| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 1, 2009 Transparent gold, foamy white head with plenty of lacing. Very soft nose of light floral and fruit, mainly grape and biscuit. Slight band-aid in the flavor, but the main notes are strong chardonnay, more grape, light lemon, and more yeasty bread/dough. A little peppery and hot, also rather dry and sticky. Pretty enjoyable beer, though seemingly muted and somewhat disconnected. sigma23 (239), , Maine, USA

Pours a clear bright golden colored body, with a big foamy white head, lasting. Fruity fresh aroma, light grapes, and dark grapes. Some grain smell, mustiness too, like horseblanket or something. Not too strong, though. Grapey taste, fruity, with a strong grape aftertaste. Light and crisp tasting. Some warmness, and a lot of carbonation. Light taste, not heavy, not alcoholy. Alright, light flavor, grapey. daknole (3028), Scottsdale, Arizona, USA
