Sep 18, 2009 Gold pour with no head. Very aromatic and fruity aroma with a triple like sweetness. Aroma follows through to the flavor with some butteryness and a hint of tequila and alcohol bite on the finish. Sticky, medium-full body with lots of carbonation.

Sep 18, 2009 Bottle at Beers in the Plaza. Probably the biggest surprise of the festival. This is why North Coast rocks it. Yellow with a small head. The aroma has a rich butterscotch sweetness and some floral honey that is definitely a little unique but very inviting. The flavor is a little tangy, definitely sweet, and not nearly as alcoholic as it should be. Honey is quite evident, but not cloying. Body is medium-full. The brewer from North Coast expressed some disappointment with how this came out, and I guess it does lack a certain elegance of character, coming across a little messy and brash, but it is still pleasant when not trying to drink an entire bottle.

Sep 14, 2009 Metro Tasting. Pours a clear yellow color. Aroma is tropical fruits, butter (in a non infection way), floral and honey. Taste is much the same, rich malt, slightly tart, soft malt. This is a very unique beer, I thought it was very creamy/buttery on the finish, in a good way. Not my favorite, but really a neat beer for sure.

Sep 5, 2009 Bottle shared by iowaherkeye. Thanks! Poured a hazy medium orange color with a creamy white head. Smelled of apricot, peaches, cream, pineapple pastry, and clove. Medium bodied and slightly sweet with a splash of alcohol. Fruit forward with pineapple, passion fruit, and orange flavors. There was a pale malt backbone and some nonspecific spices. i also got some coconut after the finish.

Aug 31, 2009 2009 Bottle - Thanks Sam! - Pours out thick orange with a medium white head...aroma is sweet and floral, not sure if I would have guessed agave, but definitely a departure from the normal malt nuances...flavour is sweet and bready, plenty of vanilla from the oak, but not much oak...alcohol cuts the malt and keeps this enjoyable...intersting brew, thanks again!
