Bottle from gunhaver. Thanks Geiger! Pours a mildly hazy orange gold with absolutely no trace of a head. Aromas of spice, yeast, banana, orange, alcohol. The flavor is much of the same except for some grassy hops and a light skunkiness. Light to medium carbonation and an almost thin body make for an extremely drinkable brew. Only a touch of alcohol on the palate, thought there was more in the nose.

does not count  Jul 7, 2008 A very good ale. This beer is gaining popularity in South Florida and I could see it moving beyond. I would say its bitter-sweet and certainly has a bite to the taste.

Jul 3, 2008 Color is a very clear amber. Pours a thinly white head that disappears very quickly.
The nose and aroma iis malty/sugary with a sublte presence of hops.
Mouthfeel is sweet, the alcohol becomes more prominent after a few sips. Notes of fruits, orange and some sweetness maybe some vanilla or banana.

Jun 30, 2008 Bottle thanks to Ibrew2or3. My first Florida beer! Pours a clear copper color with a small white head. The aroma is full of banana and spices, also some crisp malts. The taste is very smooth; a bit of alcohol presence, but mostly banana, sweet malts, clove, and some yeast. Not bad.

Jun 30, 2008 Scored this in a trade with daknole. Many thanks! 12oz bottle pours a pale, orange, yellow color with a very thin white head. Aroma is very sweet with a lot of candy, clove, banana and touch of booze. Flavor is pretty much the same with a lot of banana, some orange liqueur and just a little hay. The bottle mentions that this beer might mature with age and this beer does strike me as very young.

Jun 28, 2008 Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark golden-amber color with a medium sized white head. The aroma was sweet, tangy and a little fruity. The flavor was sweet, fruity, tangy, sugary and a bit yeasty. A little bitter towards the finish and there is a tangy off flavor that does not quite work. A nice attempt though.
