Crystal clear gold coloured body with a fast-dying white head. Aroma of skunky hops, caster sugar, light malt and some odd fruit aromas. Light-bodied; Sharp hoppy flavour with some malt lingering behind along with a short fruity flavour. Aftertaste shows nothing with a bit of metal and malt. Overall, a pretty bad offering, but not the worst. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Merchant’s in Dearborn, Michigan on 19-November-2005 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

Good to know this is "carefully" brewed. Pours a slightly cloudy gold color with a minimal off-white head. Earthy, biscuity aroma. Flavor was indeed pleasant to start, with good interplay between earthy hops, floral characteristics, a touch of light fruit, and biscuit. However, I now feel the acidic burn in the back of my throat that others mention here- indeed a post-puking sensation. What the hell? I wonder if this brewer's other beers are "carefully" brewed.
