Murky honey pour with a towering ivory head that leaves significant lacing. Nose is pure cane sugar, belgian yeast, citrus, and grass. Extremely sweet; simple syrup, biscuit, caramel and canned fruit. Somewhat velvety mouthfeel. Pretty decent brew. Sparky27 (1608), Phoenix, Arizona, USA

The nose is very fruity with spicy yeast. The taste is sweet fruits, rock candy sugar and some spice. Medium prickly mouthfeel. Decent, but too sweet for me. JCB (1786), Durham, North Carolina, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 9, 2009 750ml from The Wine Specialist, D.C. Crisp and quite lively pour, with a lasting carbonation and abundant aromas of tart yeast and autumn fruit. As Tyler writes, though, there’s something anonymously bready in the flavor, a grainy taste that washes over the whole. Strangely one-dimensional from an otherwise impressive brewer. tytoanderso (1387), St. Louis Park, Minnesota, USA

pours a hazy rich iced tea color with some floaties of yeast. it*s capped by a gigantic airy sandy tinted off white head. lots of pillowy lace clings to the inside of the glass.
aromas of honey, malty sweetness, orange, grassy hops, florals, bruised fermenting red apples and cider spiciness.
fairly sweet on the palate but not cloying... caramel apple, grainy sugar, a bit of spice and a touch of yeast before a somewhat dry mildly bitter finish. spices and fruit linger around in the aftertaste. more than medium body with a smooth rich mouth feel which is cut up by prickly carbonation.
solid. just a bit too sweet for my liking...
