Bottle. Sweet Jesus, what was I thinking?? Popped open the bottle and it exploded all over, big time gusher. What remained poured a hazy pinkish amber color with a huge, dense, off white head. Aroma is light fruits, light malt. Flavor is tart cranberry, soap, light malts. Palate is medium to light bodied, way over carbonated, finished tart. Not veery good.

From a 22oz. bottle purchased at Woodstock Wine and Deli in Portland, OR--Poured a light amber red-orange body with a small almost nonexistent head. Nose of mild fruit and faint malts. Pretty uneventful and easy drinking. Finished moderately dull and barely bitter.

Soapy extract laden nose. Saccharine like sweetness on the palate with mild malt notes. Soapy finish.

Bottle... Cloudy peach-colored ale with a mid-sized, creamy, off-white head. Great retention. The aroma is basically “canned peaches meet caramel malt.” Tangy, lightly sweet flavor with good bitterness. Medium to full-bodied and creamy with lively carbonation. Fruity, tannic, gently bitter finish. Thanks go out to DragonStout for sharing the bottle!

Courtey Dragonstout. Pours a light amber color with a medium, light tan head. Smells pretty fruity, alot of malts, and yeast characters round out the aroma. The flavor isquite frity as well, you get a little of the cranberry, alot of Belgian yeast, and some big maltiness. The finish is fruity sweet with a light bitter aftertaste. Nothing great here, but drinkable.
