TikiE (353), Sylva, North Carolina, USA Jun 20, 2008 Bottled: delicious beer that has hints of honey and grapes in the tastes. Pours a gold color with white lacing. Good beer!
hubcrawler (12), , Virginia, USA Oct 16, 2008 Pours a pale golden color with a fleeting, thin head. Has a very vinous aroma with some underlying honey, although not as much as I expected. This beer has a very high drinkability and has flavors of barley, wine, and a slight honey finish. Has low bitterness and is quite dry. Relatively high carbonation but settles into a rather smooth finish. Beer is not outstanding in any particular way but is still casually enjoyable. Gets points for the background story. DandyWolfFloyd (259), Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 15, 2008 God damn!!! This would be exceptable as my one and only beer forever. That good!!! The only reason that this isn’t a higher number is because the parameters make you factor in things that the beer can’t necessarily showcase. Aroma is winey, full of honey, sugar, and some spices. It’s appearance is a clean golden color, with a thin white collar. The flavor is of wine, more precisely a mead, mild acidity, some honey, and some mild spice. The elixir is warming, very easy drinking, makes one feel like a king after half a glass. Bombastic!!! chicagodri (553), Chicago, Illinois, USA Oct 12, 2008 For a 9% beer it is incredibly drinkable and light. Pours gold with a thin head. Aroma is sweet, honey, and some grape. A sweet beer that goes down smooth, not really what I was expecting, but good nonetheless. craftycarl21 (216), South Hero, Vermont, USA Oct 11, 2008 pours a light copper with very small head, slightly hazy. Aroma is quite vinous with sweet and herbal notes as well. Flavor is very sweet with notes of wine, a sticky syrup quality, and some citrus. Very interesting- not really my style, but unique and a nice change. Good beer. KornDogg (31), Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 8, 2008 Dark golden hue, stronger taste than aroma... grapes and honey stand out the most... hits the palate more like a barley wine... good beer... would recommend getting it fresh... Even with the high alcohol I still have had brews that lose their character quickly...
