2 month old can A: Poured gently to a minimal head that held a ring. Somewhat hazy dusty gold color. S: Citrus, pine and toffee with a whiff of alcohol. T: Strong, boozy and malty flavor of wood and toast with faint tart citrus notes emerging and making a feeble attempt to linger. M: Full bodied with low level of sluggish carbonation. O: Disappointing. Nothing about this stands out or reminds me even remotely of champagne. And at this unnecessary strength, you're better off just having a glass of champagne.
