| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 20/20 | Apr 12, 2008 Palest of orange color, cloudy with bubbly white head.
Intoxicating fruity perfumes began to fill the air immediately as I popped the cork on this one. Smells of strawberry, raspberry, tart cherry, tangerine, sweet tarts, juicy fruity deliciousness.
Taste is like a milder version of the nose. It is hard to believe that theres not fruit added to this beer, the fruit impression is so strong. Smell is strongly strawberry or cherry but the flavors I get are more orange or lemony sweet tarts. Almost sour! Gooood.
Mildly acidic, light-moderate feel with low carbonation. This beer is immensely drinkable and thoroughly enjoyable. SHIG (2046), Aviano, Italy
