| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Dec 24, 2007 Pours cloudy and caramel colored, with a generous and frothy beige head.
The finely dense foam recedes to almost full coverage on the surface, with some decent strings of lacework.
Aromatics lead off with toffee-laced bubblegum. Plenty of phenols and extremely fruity. Tangerines with red grapes step forward.
The mouthfeel is medium, with a fairly creamy profile. Carbonation is somewhat light for style.
The pallet is fruit-laden and caramel-like.
A orange marmalade infused Sugar-Daddy.
Alcohol is barely noticable and only slightly warming.
Finishes with a firm bitterness and lingering tropical fruit.
Very tasty and drinkable, but some cocoa notes would add some depth.
