750 ml bottle shared by Dan P. Color shows a cloudy yellow with lasting head retention. Aroma is fruity and yeasty. Peaches, mangos and bread.
Flavor has a wheat and honey upfront with a chewy yeasty texture through the center. Hints of rye and sugar. I like the flavors here but it displays a hug slap of booze in the finish. I’m not kidding, alcohol burn down the gullet after the sip. If I had a bottle I would sit on it awhile and see if it can mellow. I liked the flavor if I could have gotten around the burn. Damn that’s hot!

A very interesting beer. Aroma is honey sweetness and floral hops with very faint yeast. Medium to light body. Flavor is full of honey sweetness with floral and earthy hops, very sweet malt, and yeast tingles. Finish is round with light carbonation. Very interesting brew. Not hoppy enough for an IPA but way too sweet for a triple or saison. A pint is hard to finish but glad I tried it.
