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.

Pours with a white head and a clear golden body. Aroma of oak, spice, wood and dry agave. Taste is sweet with wood and tequila. Very strange but awesome beer. Dry, oaky and light carbonation. Alcohol is there, but not 12.5 % there. Pretty awesome! after4ever (2828), Brier, Washington, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 31, 2009 Smells a bit...odd...avoiding a more pejorative adjective. Yellow body. Better flavor than aroma, with notes of tropical fruit, malts, and wood. Not my favorite, however. Bottle shared at RBSG 2009 grand tasting.
