hazy dark gold, fine white head, streaky lace,
sweet fruity ester aroma with light phenolic spices,
thin but creamy body,
estery malt flavor is a bit hot, lots of bitterness flows from the spicyness and becomes the dominant character, long bitter finish,
too heavy on the phenolics

Flavor is pretty much the same with a nice touch of spice to it. Over all not a bad brew and rather refreshing. Suttree (2708), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Sep 24, 2007 Yellow, big frothy head. Aroma is apple-y, with some banana and bubble gum notes. Perhaps a bit thin bodied. Flavor is fruity, spicy even a little bit herbal. Clean, crisp finish. Sampled at Asheville Brewgrass 2007.
