Mar 28, 2008 0.5L bottle, purchase relatively fresh from a new store that just opened. Pours a bright light-brown color; light tan head with solid retention and textured lacing. Pleasant aroma showing fruitiness, soft cloves, a bit of tea; very clean, crisp. Medium mouthfeel: lively carbonation; some zesty mineral bitterness at the front, with tea and red fruits and soft, bready malts at the core; excellent, crisp texture in the mouthfeel; I could drink a lot of this. Medium finish: lingering minerals, fruit, and minimal sugar. Just a nicely composed, intensely drinkable beer.

Dec 16, 2007 0.5 l, bb Sep-08. Clear, burnt orange with a 3 finger head that lasts well. Nose is spicy cherry, lemon-honey and grain. Sweet tastes of corn, honey, berries and cream are balanced nicely by some spicy hops. Very nice balance. I might have mistaken this beer for an excellent fruit beer in a blind tasting. Creamy smooth and nearly medium-bodied, has some nice tingle and a drying finish.

Aug 22, 2007 I don’t remember where I got this from since it sat in my cabinet for over a year. Maybe it was New Beer Distributors in NYC. Anyway, once you stir the fizz out of this beer, it’s quite nice. Not that bitter for a Kellerbier and with medium maltiness (richness). Bronze-colored. A tad sweet. If you’re like me and enjoy a sweet, thick beer, you’ll enjoy this one (once you de-fizz it).

Appearance: Clean dark amber with medium frisky top.
Nose : Fresh ,aromatic hops welcome you up front. Some caramel with refreshing clean malts. Little earthy tones at back touch zesty hops in nice way.
Flavor/Palate : Very soft , silky smooth with bit of stickiness. Good malt base , soft water helps as well. Slight roasty hints. Very clean and drinkable with neat zesty hop character.

Oct 6, 2007 28 sept 07. .5L swing-top bottle. 5.2%ABV. Rich ale looking, deep amber, with thin bubbly head. Aroma of candied fruit, lightly smoked malts. Flavor is very sweet, malted grains. Not much bitterness til late in the finish. Overall, smooth creamy texture and light-medium bodied. Kinda reminds me of a complex Märzen. Prost!
