Jun 19, 2009 Tap at the brewpub - I quite liked this one - unlike most braggots, the mead adds a nice honey flavor, without adding too much sweetness - the floral, herbal, wheaty character of the beer remains quite distinct, and compliments the honey character quite well - alcohol is warming, but not overpowering - actually quite refreshing for its strength - a bit of apricot and lingering herbs - very good.

Jan 18, 2009 10/10/08 at the Boulder pub. One of the best beers I had while in CO for the GABF. Nice spicy citrus aroma. Slightly cloudy light orange/amber. Tangerine and spice in the flavor along with touch of grain and honey. Nicely balanced with medium body and mouthfeel. Really nice sweet tangerine finish.

Nov 2, 2008 Updated: Nov 3, 2008Why was I under the impression that this was a tangerine fruit beer? It’s cloudy and hazy orange with a creamy fine-bubbled silky tan head. You can certainly pick up the honey in the nose, only it’s more like fuzzy skinned apricots and peaches blended with honey. Flavor-wise it’s less of the honey character and a lot more of this dry marshmallow and prickly tangerine. Overall it’s wonderfully refreshing and very delicious. A little too sugared towards the end makes it likeable in small doses, but other than that I’m a fan.

Feb 15, 2008 This is a very complex beer. I think this is actually a braggot....I think that means they use half malt and honey for the fermentables. Ask the brewers, they will know. This is a really well done brew that has lemon grass and "Cannabis Hops" according to one server. It’s nice and hoppy but not as pungent as their other brews.
