Pours with a thin head, very clear, could pass for a pilsner to the unaware. Large, dry honey nose. Muscat and saffron spices are quite sublte. Sweet honey entry with a touch of soft barley as an anchor. The muscat rounds out the flavour nicely and threatens to become cloying. These threats are not realized. Saffron shows up on the finish as this elixir dries with a touch of alcohol. Excellent Rogue River Smokey Blue. The cheese seems to let the sublties shine a little more once the honey sweetness is foil by the saltiness. Good beer, interesting for certian and well priced. 90 pair with food and subsitute for any late harvest dessert white. And drink on the warmish side.

Dec 12, 2009 12 ounce bottle at the tasting in SLC- Mikey’s big event. Pours a light bronze color with a medium white head. The aroma is sweet honey and odd herbal notes. The flavor was decent; easygoing honey and sweet almost funky grape notes. Spicy. Not bad.

Dec 7, 2009 Pours a very light light and clear orangish-straw color with a thin white head that quickly dissipates. Aroma is of strong fruit notes - primarily grapes, as well as hints of citrus and honey. Taste is dominated by the sweetness of grapes and honey, but balanced by bitter malts. Finishes very nicely.

Dec 4, 2009 Aroma is light sweet honey. Pours slightly cloudy golden, thin head. Sweet, prunish flavour, alcohol finish. Mid-range body. Rather have a 90 min IPA.

Dec 1, 2009 I had this from a bottle. It smells sweet and tastes the same. The grapes make up a lot of what I taste in this beer.

Nov 25, 2009 Pours light orange. This has a thin off white head as well. The nose is sweet, grape, and citrusy. The taste is white grapes, champagne, small amount of hops. This is an interesting and fruity beer. Good beer overall.

Nov 23, 2009 Bottled. Thin orange maybe more gold with thin plain white head. Aroma is citrusy orange and sweet and also heavy and grapes kind of like champagne. Flavors are heavy, white grape and medium sweetness, not a lot of hop bitterness definitely more malty. A little to sweet for me lightly sour, and at very end is awesome with light salt that brings it all together. Great brew. I don’t usually like a sweeter beer this does it for me.

Nov 22, 2009 Very interesting blend of things going on here. Orange-gold color in the glass with fruity, grapey aromas. Thick honey and floral flavors, you can definitely taste a grape flavor as well. Very unique.

Nov 21, 2009 Updated: Nov 22, 2009Bottle. 12 oz. Pours amber orange with a thick, frothy white head. Aroma of grapes, sour grapefruit, apples, honey, lemon zest, dry hops, and barley. Full bodied with a lingering, sugary finish. Outstanding.
