Jul 1, 2009 pours crystal clear and dirty blond with an off white head.
sweet smelling... pale malt, grass, yeasty earthiness and red apples.
the flavor is surprisingly yeasty.... sweet...really sweet graininess, apples, faint citrus, grass, wet straw and a mildly bitter finish. a bit too sweet without a balance.
medium bodied. it is a bit slick and creamy on the tongue. 6/3/6/4/13/3.2

Jun 30, 2009 Pours a clear, dark amber with a medium, off-white head. Sweet malty aroma. Also tastes quite malty with slight hints of fruit, apples, honey, raisins, and some vanilla. Quite a mouthfull. Good overall.

Jun 30, 2009 Aroma began with the butt of a skunk and ended with sugary malt. Nice copper pour with a 2 inch eggshell head that diminished into a small ring around the inside of the glass. Extremely sweet and syrupy with a hint of dark fruit and alcohol. For 8%, this seemed to have a lot of muster. Not a favorite but have had worse.

Jun 29, 2009 TAP: gold pour, nose of sweet malts. Taste is malty, sweet/sour, and butterscotch.

Jun 13, 2009 Perhaps this one just isn’t for me. It probably is what it claims as a blonde doppelbock, but I just didn’t expect the bock character to come out so strongly. This is a mouthful and connected to blonde I guess I was just surprised. I can see how others would like it...not for me.

Jun 11, 2009 Rich and hearty malt backbone. Sweet sugar cookie malt tones with a full caramel malt flavor. Vanilla and sweet dark fruits are evident along with soft hop spice and slight pepper.

Jun 2, 2009 12 oz bottle Archer Liquors. Clear brown color with a stiff light brown head. Sweet malty aromas. I could detect the alcohol. Nice flavor - sweet with a mild bitterness in the aftertaste. You can taste the alcohol and dark brown sugar with a thin crisp finish. Nice.

May 29, 2009 12-oz. Pours bright medium coppery amber. Platinum blonde, nice and creamy and dense, and really sticks around. Loose stringy lace. Aluminum, CO2, and a bit of sour wet grass on the nose. Creamy medium body with tons of sparkling carb. A little over-sweet, kind of a sweet and sour thing happening on the mid-palate. Lots of caramel, dark old leaves, some butterscotch on the mid-palate. Not quite coherent, and a bit too sweet.
