Apr 29, 2004 Hop resins emanate from the clear pale bronze color (?!?)...Honey tries to hold on to the alcohol and gets help from the fresh grain...Highly unusual barley wine from the firkin...

Oct 17, 2004 Oale golden ale with a light white head. Very faint raisin aroma. Alcohol warmth is not balnced with an unpleasnat pungeant taste. Very thin boring barley wine.

Apr 26, 2004 TAP NY sample. Very light, lagery color. Decent whiskeyish-malty aroma, hints of figs or dates. Vanilla-scotch in flavor, noticeable alcohol, quite flat and dull on the tongue.

May 2, 2004 Sherry-like aroma. Super pale colour. Nice dark fruit at first but alcohol was very apparent. Very thin body. Perhaps could have benefitted from further aging although that would have probably increased the oxidation. Sampled at the post-TapNY tasting session.

May 2, 2004 (Draught) Golden body with a thin, white head. Sour citrus that is not balanced by malt. Hoppy with a slight malt finish. Good alcoholic representation.

Jul 2, 2004 One of my favorite styles but this is not one of my favorite beers. A bit too sweet for my liking and way too think. A bit more carbonation would have worked. It tasted too much like honey with almost the same consistancy.

Jun 23, 2004 cask at brewtopia - to me, this beer tasted like malty medication, like something your grandmother would give you as a curative for some anachronistic condition that has long been dismissed by medical science, like the "vapours" - patent medicine, yes, beer?
