Fruity, bready, honey aroma. Medium bodied with nearly relaxed carbonation. The flavor leans on the sweet side of balance, but not by much – decently hopped. Nice, lightly sweet finish. Thanks to dchmela for providing the bottle! hayduke (1620), Eureka, California, USA Mar 24, 2009 After prying off all the wax from the 1 liter swing top bottle dated 2007 this poured a cloudy orange with a moderate off white head and average lacing. Nose of caramel malts and fruit. mainly apple. Medium mouthfeel but very clean on the palate. Flavor is dominated by the malts, and this one of those beers that manages to be both sweet and bitter in the finish at the same time. ratman197 (3139), Arvada, Colorado, USA Feb 18, 2009 1 litre swing top bottle 2007 vintage poured a clear amber with a lingering ring of ivory foam. Aromas of carmel, light fruittiness, light spice and a hint of honey. Palate was light to medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of carmel, light fruittiness and a hint of spice with a smooth lightly sweet malty finish. timmy300 (199), bloomington, Illinois, USA Jan 18, 2009 fruity and sweet................................................................................................................................
