Can for a buck off the clearance rack at JR's. Head fades immediately. Pour is brownish tinged pale and clear. Nose is soft pleasant and neutral, can't really detect much of anything yet. For a 8% beer, this has no warming nor an alky bite, quite smooth for what it is. Yes, I am really surprised of the level of ABV stated on the can. Good level of co2 and near the middle, I'm picking up some light cherry flavor. Well balanced. Seriously, this is just a tad sweet but it goes down so easy it could be dangerous! If I was drinken from a sixpack, I may have tdrank three of these without a blink! Then I'd be catching th little buzzy thing, hehehehh. Good stuff troeggy, this is certainly a well made higher alky brew! Reminds me a some very tasty, well brewed old country tripels I've had in the past! If this is a holiday brew, its one of the better ones I've had in a while.

Quite sharp and fairly yeasty. Not bad but couldn’t drink a lot of it.

Honey gold with a large foamy head. Yeasty and phenolic with bubblegum, bread, vague fruit and a boozy bite. Long finish. Moderately full bodied.
