Sampler from tap at the brewpub in Boston. Pours amber, clear with a lacing head. Light wineous malty aroma. Flavour is wineous, clear alcohol presence. Malty light sweet with a vaue dried fruit touch. Mild bubblegum flavour. Malty finish.

2004 draught @ BBF. Pale gold in color, with a thick syrupy like presence though. Pretty typical head formation and retention of a strong golden ale. Smells sweet, like there is a ton of residual sugar in this one, light pepery yeast and bit of alcohol. Flavor was pretty standard for the style. Fruity esters highly pronounced with a big sweet malt backbone and a fluffy mouthfeel. They could have used some more aggressive spicing to dry this one out, as it was a bit too sweet, but it was certainly well-made other than that.
