Not sure why I gravitate towards this brew but alas. Orange bubbly pour. Nose is fruit and wine. Tastes of apple, pear, white wine, golden raisins, some musty basement notes. Not really sure what’s going on here.

Bottle. Blonde, sweet, honey and biscuits, apples, Belgian yeast spice. Decent but not so impressive. Crisp effervescence.

Crisp golden coloured body with a ton of bubbles rising from the bottom and sides with a thin, fast-dying white head. Aroma of pale malt, some light pear and apple sweetness and a very mild malt nose. Light to Medium-bodied; Subdued malt flavours at first with a more effervescent and tingly sweetness and crisp herbal flavour coming through. Aftertaste is light and airy with some fruits, a little grass and a hint of yeast. Overall, somewhat reminiscent of an italian or french sparkling wine, but a little dry and not showing enough conviction to even be a decent beer. I’m happy to have sampled it, but glad I didn’t fly home with this one! I sampled this 75 cL bottle purchased from Total Wine in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida on 28-December-2013 for US$11.99 sampled with friends on New Year’s Eve 2013 in Orlando, Florida.

Elegant bottle. Pours with a clear yellow hued body and a white head. Aromas are of DMS, plastic, sulfur, doughy bread, soap and medium esters. Flavors are strongly of DMS, slightly oily, low esters, strong vegital and straw like malt. Lively carbonation and medium bodied.

Bottle. Straw colored beer with a whitish head. Fruity (melon) aroma with light yeast. Light yeast and light spice flavor with fruitiness. Medium bodied. Yeast and spice linger with hay and fruit.

A bottle from Craft Beer Base. The fact that this was made with champagne yeast really shines through.It has champagne’s light carbonation and mouthfeel & a sweet fruity flavor like a nice bottle of bubbly. Incredibly easy to drink, the label says it all "A true feast for the senses with it’s rich straw-like appearance and aromatic, fruity nose. This celebratory beer has a crisp, sweet flavor with a strong dry, effervescent finish." Devil’s Canyon really nailed it as I picked up on most of that. A great beer to celebrate a special occasion, also excellent for people who don’t like beer. Kind of a beer-champagne hybrid which will have some people saying "Was that a beer?"

Capped 750 from City Beer. Pours light gold with a transient white head. Aroma is fruit - suggesting a mix of banana ester and pineapple in a mild way. Med body. Flavor suggests pear! Not a great impression of Belgian yeast/spice. Yet there is an ongoing banana ester thing - but very low key. The whole beer is rather mild in flavor - but it is rather tasty and intriguing. So, a "crisp, sweet [make that fruity] flavor with a strong dry, effervescent finish" - well that’s fairly accurate. Devils Canyon is all over the landscape on beer types, but pretty consistent on doing good beers. IMHO.
