Date: 09/19/08, 12 oz. bottle courtesy Doboy, thanks Ed<br /> <br />Aroma - Sweet light fruit, grain, faintly floral<br /> <br />Appearance - Pale gold, medium white head that seems to last well and decent lace.<br /> <br />Flavor - Starts off with plenty of fruity sweetness and that way. Some bitterness at the finish, but it has a distinctly metallic aftertaste.<br /> <br />Palate - Medium body and carbonation, somewhat sticky, <br /> <br />Overall - Not too impressed with this, sweet but without any depth to support it.

Golden yellow with a medium white head that leaves streaks of lace. Aroma of caramel, soap, sweet malt and grains. Taste of caramel, sweet malt, alcohol with some mild hops mixed in. Sweet sugary aftertaste, perhaps too sweet.

Apparently made of TJs. Explains the price and quality. Cheap but unmemorable.

Pours deep golden red, with a sweet ,sherry aroma. Offers just a hint of Abbey Ale taste and has a full balanced mouthfeel. Detected a hint of apple? Deep fermented fruit with a nice malty finish. My bottle said it was Steinhaus in Ulm MN, but the brewery appears to be located in California. This was a Trader Joe’s find.

Bottle. Pours a clear medium gold with a 2 finger white head. Nose is malt and biscuits. Taste is malt, fruity sweetness and a bitter alcohol finish. Light to medium mouth feel. Not very good.
