clouded up yellowish orange with a decent white head.smells of light alcohol,,and yeasty sweet dough. lots of sweetness in the flavor, but shockingly drinkable, this is going to get me in troubble if it is as high of abv as i think. some citrus hop works well with this sugar dominance. yes, i’ll have another, thanks for asking. 3 7 7 5 15

Draught, Boulder Strong Ale Fest, Apr 08. Head is mostly diminishing. Body is hazy medium yellow. Aroma is lightly to moderately malty (toasted grain), lightly hoppy (flowers), with notes of banana/gum and alcohol. Flavor is moderately to heavily sweet, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, syrupy texture, lively carbonation, lightly to moderately alcoholic. Esters seem to steal the show a bit here, which is odd for a lager but so be it. Very sweet without much to balance. Not fond of this one.
