2005 bottle from DYCSoccer17, thanks Casey! Shared at the 3/6/05 Montreal tasting. Aroma of brown sugar soaked in vinegar, spoiled grape pulp, sour yeast. Appearance is a clear, weak olive-brown with a fleeting dark beige head. Flavor has strange chemical/solvent notes, some butter, raisins and sourish/sweet light soy flavors. Brown sugar is faint, alcohol peaks through. Body is medium-light with an artificial fizziness. Not many good things to say about this one, but I will say that it’s hard to believe they would produce a new beer this bad, so I will try another bottle in hopes of it being better.
