| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 1, 2009 Big thanks to douglas88 for sending this liter swing top my way. It pours deep gold with a bit of haze and white head. The aroma has light colored fruit, a touch of grainy malts, floral hops and then rounded out by a thin layer of dark fruity esters accompanied by a bit of heat. The taste begins as apricots, peaches, plums and some apple mixing with sweet sugary malts. By midway some alcohol heat builds to thin out the mouthfeel a bit. It evens out into the finish with nearly silky smooth notes of malty grains, apricot and apple. douglas88 (1605), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 3, 2009 One liter bottle thanks to Del. ABV is 8.59%. Pours a clear golden color with a medium bubbly white head. The aroma is spicy, lots of fruit- especially peaches- some yeast as well. The flavor is great; smooth and easy, fruity, loads of peaches and sweet malts, almost like a overly ripe apple cider, dry and a decent carbonation. Loads of spices. Very nice, and a excellent version of the style. Make some more Jeff! mikey (336), farmington, Utah, USA

The nose is very fruity with notes of lemon, apples, and bananas. The taste starts with more fruitiness. Peaches with some cotton candy sensations thrown in. The end is full of nice sweet malt and a bit of spiciness. Mouthfeel is full and rich with moderate to low carbonation. Great drinkability. The 10% ABV is well hidden.
