Flavor is not far from a vanilla cream ale which becomes a bit much by the end of the glass. Creamy on the palate. Interesting use of spicing Arayaga2 (990), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 22, 2008 Updated: Oct 15, 2009V excessive large foamy head. Tons of carbonation lining the glass with bubbles. Clearish body with a light brown or copper tone. Head settles down leaving a sticky lace on the glass. first whiff I got was of a lemon-line characteristic, like 7-up or sprite soda. underneath that is some malted brown sugar and caramel. taste is much more brandywine-like with candied sugars emerging where the lemon-lime aroma was. pleasant taste, but thin mouthfeel.

Re-rate, 2009 version, bottle, same basic notes, though less citrus on first whiff and a much more creamy, filling mouthfeel. Much better. verymerrymonk (257), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
