Taster at the brewery - hazy orange - nose is strong, sweet cognac and some melon and citrus notes, mild phenolics - flavor is super boozy and sweet, especially up front - this subsides a bit later, with some bright tropical notes, vanilla, and moderate spicy/ peppery character - overall, though, the sweet booze persists throughout - meh.
