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.

[2586-20091114] 500mL bottle. Sweet corn grain aroma with a little apple skins. Clear, brown orange body with a quick foamy off-white head. Little bitter corn grain hops flavour. Medium body. A little flat, a little English, a little bland.

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.

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.
