Draft - Brown sugar and some stone fruit. Clearish gold with a decent off white head. Stone fruit, estery yeast and sugars. Light bitterness and dry finish.

On tap at Dragonmead. Light copper body, thin off-white head. Butterscotchy aroma, vinous, candylike, with caramel notes. Very sweet body with banana, a touch of clove, bready with hints of honey and caramel. Alcohol light but detectable. Reminded me of a strong hefeweizen fermented with a Belgian yeast strain. Again, my rating may be a bit generous.

Growler. Well, a definite Belgian beer taste. Very malty, yet somehow creamy and smooth. Still sugary, as should be expected, but kind of easy going down.

Super fruity aroma. Yellow with some darker brownish red tinges. Reminds me of pear/apple juice. . .Way too much fruit sweetness. Hardly detect any hops, maybe a touch towards the finish. Still, has a good enough flavor and tastes real enough. Did not find the spice flavors in it that I was expecting. Only medium bodied at best (probably more towards light) and a quite watery. Could actually stand some more carbonation (i think thats the first time ive said that about a beer). The alcohol is amazingly masked however, and the beer finishes smooth. I think I should have let it warm longer. Will definitely have to try again and rerate.
