Don’t know why this one gets such low ratings. I really enjoyed it. Pours dark gold, with aromas of apples, peaches, and a strong note of honey. Somewhat sweet; a sort of golden sweetness, well rounded. The honey notes were strong on the finish, and it all finished off with a hint of hops and saffron. Really good.

Pretty light gold in the glass - nose of wet grass and a hint of hops and aluminum. Taste is watery and bland - light flowers and more of the metallic up front, then water, then a slight hop bitterness. The finish actually improved a little after the glass sat for a bit and the bitterness started to cut through the watery aluminum enough to make it palatable. Not a very good effort here.

Pours a cloudy gold with white head. Aroma of hay, apple, malt. Similar taste, very metallic. Blah.

Bottle shared from Barrios’ Massechussets trip. Pours a hazy golden amber with wispy offwhite head. Apple, very old weak hops, and lightly metallic. Not very good, but cool logo.

Pours hazy gold with a very thin white head. Aroma is hay and dirty sweet fruit. Taste’s like i’m drinking from a pond with lot’s of algae in it. Very unpleasant, maybe the bottle is old.

Pours a deep golden almost amber body with a ring of off-white head. Smells a little floral. Tastes floral. Slightly bitter.
