Aroma does not imply the complexity you are about to experience. Smooth mouthfeel. Fruity and spicy. Sweet and bitter citrus notes. Apples, plums, too. Complex as a fine wine. Bit of coppery offtaste was only downside, but overall a great beer. ElJefe (553), Rochester, New York, USA

Hazy golden brown with a large creamy white head. Grapes, yeast, and tartness on the nose. Flavor is a bit tart, with apricots, banana, some cookie, and vanilla.
