Eyedrinkale (3076), Beer Town, New York, USA May 9, 2008 Draft at Barcade. Gold with a small head. Aroma is pineapple and orange zest. Flavor is more on the hoppy side then the malty side with caramel and honey. There’s a little alcohol bump in there as well.
goldtwins (3658), Nesconset, New York, USA Apr 21, 2008 I finallu got to try this after missing it on tap three times. Oh yeah, tap @ Barcade. Poured a slightly hazed copper with a small off-white head. Citrus hop forward with some a fruity malt base. Some pine. The flavor is cirtusy with some foral and pine notes. The sweetness fades leaving a long bitterness. Good warmth with little alcohol taste. Medium bodied and very nice. beastiefan2k (1039), Hicksville, New York, USA Mar 4, 2008 Thanks to JoeMcPhee for sharing this with me at Barcade. Color is clear orange with a small head. Aroma is all hoppy; sweet and green with faint cat pee. Taste is a bit sticky sweet from the hops and some other cheap sugars. Bitterness is hidden by the sweetness but too much of a trade off. Thick and sticky mouthfeel as well. Pint pour @ Barcade. JoeMcPhee (3604), Jackson Heights, New York, USA Mar 3, 2008 Tap at Barcade. Deep amber-gold colour, thin white head. Aroma is very sweet and honeyish. A bit of sweet overripe fruit, berries and orange citrus. Moderate bitterness and so sweet that it’s really hard to get through. Chewy and lightly herbal/spicy... some light amarillo cattiness and light tropical fruit, but the sweetness really kills this for me. PilsnerPeter (1303), Flushing, New York, USA Feb 23, 2008 Tap at Barcade: Pours a beautiful murky reddish orange with a spotty white head. The nose shows some earthy hop leaf, sticky sweet resins, honey and overripe mango. Has a sweet flavor, yet a decent hop character. Mild ripe mango hints along with some honeyish sweetness. A bit earthy with an unfiltered feel to it and a late sweet citrus touch. The finish is slightly resiny. This stuff reminds a bit of Super Kitty from Keegan. A bit too sweet, but has a decent profile.
