Jan 26, 2008 Pours a golden color with a thin white head. It is a very interesting mix of flavors: honey, grape, this is barely even a beer. It has a very light mouthfeel.
That said, it is a truly amazing drink; simply wonderful!

Jan 23, 2008 Bottle at cgarvieuk’s jig party shack. Aroma is honey, spice, lightly smokey pale malt, sweet but still balanced with grasssy hop notes. Taste is similar, honey, mead notes, fruity, floral, reminisant of a great chinese tea with whole flower in it with mead added. Excellent very drinkable and no alc to be seen.

Jan 22, 2008 Golden colored, complex, balanced with alcohol as a subtext. Nice rice and honey overtones with a pleasant tartness. Different and worth it. A complete 180 degree turn from the Imp Stout school. I love this beer (?).

Jan 13, 2008 Orangy, spicy nose with hints of honey and a whaff of alcohol. Hazy gold color with a fluffy head initially that disappates quickly. Chewy malt body with honey notes again, yeasty undertones too, and overall fruity. Spicy dry end, but this one leaves a dollop of sugary sweetness on the lips like a lollipop. Fat. Big. Good.

Jan 13, 2008 Intense dark orange color - almost golden. No pillow on top. Medium carbonation visable with some nice bubbles flipping up on the surface. Sweet oranges nose, also light ginger. Prickles on the tonge, soft and not to spicey, medium long finish. Overripe plum and orange taste detectable. Quite like it!

Jan 9, 2008 On tap-@ the Rehoboth Brewpub. Poured a very cloudy golden yellow color w/no head. Sweet aroma, reminded me of a Belgian Ale. Flavors of candied sugar, honey, white grapes, orange peel, bananas, & ginger. Had some carbonation to it. I had heard some people say how odd this beer was but I found it quite enjoyable. Smooth, easy drinking brew; alcohol was very well hidden. Long spiced finish.
