Cheap can off the bargain shelf. Pour is hazy yellow orange. Smell is a sweet alarming volatile mess. Head thins to pond scum white froth. First big swig is less offensive than I though it would be, thank you. Yes, some cloying sweetness in there, but not like so many other rude ass domestic attempts at a beldgy trip. Nice lacing half way thru. Toward the middle, I'm still liking the palate attitude of this, much better than expected. Goes down fairly easy for a 9%. Decent level of co2 as well. Yep, it looks like CG got the line on the high alky beldgies with this one. Getting some banana and hints of hefe in there. A little bit of whisky and a tad of pepper starting to come thru in the finish. In the end, I'm really surprised about the civility of this brew, measures up with many old country trippels. Good overall strong ale beer tasting experience.
