| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jan 4, 2009 Brewery glassware on tap (Sharp Edge, Pgh)
Pours a deep straw color, pleasant thin white head. Smooth fruity (pineapple, peaches) on the aroma, some hop character, but the fruit overwhelms any bitterness in the aroma. Tastes smooth and sweet, boozy with flavors matching the nose. There is no hiding of the alcohol content, and in this case, it works well. Some bread aftertaste, but none striking in the overall mouth feel. Great beer, one of my favorites on tap. JJClark (546), Roscoe, Illinois, USA

Aroma of yeast, citrus and spices. Taste of peaches, lemon and sweet malt. Light yeasty and hop under tone in the flavor. Alcohol is well hidden.Has a nice light sweet spice finish.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 31, 2008 Poured from the bottle into a trappist glass to drink. The beer had a clear orange-copper color with a good-sized, foamy, white head that had decent retention and good cling. A candy and toffee aroma with sweet caramel and a touch of citrus and perhaps pine hops. The taste was sweet and candy like with a bit of citrus with some underlying bitterness. A lighter, fizzy feel with a drying effect that was a little bit rough. Definitely a good beer, but not one of my favorites in this genre. michael-pollack (2745), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA
