Aug 31, 2008 A golden ale with a thick creamy lacing white head. Aroma is fruity, grainy, and bready, with the sake notes coming out well. In mouth, a sweet malt with caramel notes, oily mouthfeel, alcohol and fermented rice. Medium bodied.

Aug 29, 2008 In the 650 ml bottle. Light, fruity aroma, with bread, yeast. Slightly sake-like. Sweet, fruity flavor with sake traces, grape, funkiness (just a touch), grains. Rather unpleasant actually, like a cheap, sweet, sake one-cup. Interesting idea but it didn’t really work.

Aug 25, 2008 (22 oz. bottle from Kappy’s) Pours light goldish amber, a bit hazy. One finger of off-white head. Aroma is very sweet and candy-like. Mouthfeel is fairly smooth and quite sticky. Light weepy sheets and rings of lacing. Flavor is candy-like and sticky with a bit of perhaps vanilla extract and juniper. Somewhat of a sweet rice taste also towards finish, or is it the Koji? Just kind of a sweet, sticky mess - not really terrible but the whole thing really just doesn’t work.

Aug 3, 2008 Sample at the 2008 VT Brewers Fest - Poured a very straw yellow in color with a small white head that very quickly disappeared. Aroma was grainy, with bready yeast, and slightly sour. Flavor was a bit unusual with some malty sweetness and some fruity sourness. Interesting... perhaps worth repeating at some point.

Aug 3, 2008 This was alright, but a little too sweet for my liking. It had no discernible aroma. The color was a darker amber-gold. Not one of my favorites from Otter Creek.

Jul 13, 2008 Bottle. Light in color, body and head. Aroma unique, some hay, grain. Malty, uncoventioanl caramel sweetness, soft caky flavor with touchs of fruit, grapes I guess. I thought this was interesting and deserves a point or two for originality.

Jul 10, 2008 Courtesy of maniac. Pours a translucent dark straw with good off-white head. Nose of tannic white grapes and grits. Acidic flavor. Unusual, but not wholey unpleasant. Wouldn’t seek it out but would drink it again.
