hopscotch (4485), Vero Beach, Florida, USA Jan 3, 2004 Lightly hazy, deep golden ale with a small, creamy, white head. The nose is fruity and malty with notes of alcohol, orange, pear, apricot and cantaloupe with a hint of English toffee and caramel. The flavor is of honey dew and cantaloupe with lots of alcohol, bitter hops and caramel.
Full-bodied with an alcoholic mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Short, lightly tart, alcoholic finish. Very good stuff, although the alcohol is a bit overbearing. wunderbier (1266), Tampere, Finland Dec 22, 2003 Tight, creamy, white head diminishes to a crown on a deep amber body. Caramel, nutty malt (H); citric hops (L); no real ester presence. Heavily sweet throughout with a lightly bitter finish. Cloying sweetness. Medium-heavy body, creamy texture, soft carbonation. The bottom line is: tastes like they tripled the malt bill without adjusting the hops.
