Oct 14, 2009 Bottle. amber-gold appearance with medium head... aroma of alcohol and fruits... flavor is very sweet, great deal of honey it seems... fruity notes with a warming alcohol power... very well balanced... some say it’s too sweet, but I liked it more for that reason

Oct 2, 2009 Bottle. Pours a hazy gold with a medium sized white head. Sweet, almost metallic grapes, light wine, oxidized cardboard. Medium bodied, sweet. Really sweet. Honey, a little bit of spice. Finishes up with some slight booze. Overall just way too sweet.

Oct 2, 2009 Thanks to alaskanwarren for the bottle. Golden-orange pour. Smells like sweet honeydew melon, no hop aroma, but inviting. Flavor starts with melon and peaches, fading into lingering meady notes with a touch of bitter hop. Interesting stuff. I’m not sure what hawthorn smells like, and I’m not really picking up any jasmine (I’m a big fan of jasmine tea). The malt adds body, but is mostly in the background.

Sep 29, 2009 Draft at redlight redlight. The story about and the history behind this beer is in my opinion the most interesting thing about it. The overwelming fruit flavors dominate all else and keep it from being very complex. A slight hop in the finish and the high alcohol notes redeem it but not quite enough. Bravo to Dogfish Head for trying these kinds of things, but this one isn’t my favorite.

Sep 24, 2009 Draft at Redlight Redlight. Thanks to my man Brent who always brings in the good beers. This one, however, wasn’t the greatest. I really didn’t like it. It was sweet, sticky and cloying, with a slightly tart finish. A little banana and some other fruits, like apple, in there. I applaud Dogfish Head for making something different, this just isn’t up my alley.

Sep 23, 2009 Thanks ericandersnavy. Smells that I don’t recognize. Maybe the hawthorne fruit described on the bottle. A little whiney with a good fruit taste.

Sep 22, 2009 pours amber to golden with an average size white head that sticks around for the majority of the glass. aroma of malts, grapes, bananas, and honey. taste on the palate is mostly honey and malts with dry fruits bringing up the tail end of a sip. the finish is tart and bitter at once and intriguing, very interesting brew.
