Pours with a small, white head covering a clearish amber/orange body aroma is lightly spicey hops with light malts. taste is pretty hoppy, I had to double check with the waitress to make sure I was not getting the APA by mistake, WAY too hoppy for the style. Nice tasting, but very off for the style.

Pours with a yellowish, tinged clear hued sparkling body. Aroma is a bit artifical fruit. Taste is very sweet and cloying. Artifical tastes again. Too fizzy.

On tap at the Citrus Park, FL location. Pours gold with an orange hue and off white head. The aroma is sweet citrus, apricot, raisin, black pepper, malt sweetness and some assorted spices. The taste is sweet with a pulse of sweet malts with bold fruity esters of apricots, plum, raisins, cantaloupe and pepper popping up here and there. There’s also an earthy sense to go along with some vague spice and herb notes.

Yellowish head, small & fast gone over beautiful accajou beer. Alcohol, rum or raisins on rum, diacetyl. Sweet, slightly roasted almonds, alcohol, again point of butterscotch, honey - also roasted, if that makes sense - and a very dry finish. Very slick, obvious alcoholwarming, long sweet-warm flowing aftertaste. Quite tasty but the alcohol dominates too much, giving even more sweetness to an already sweet beer, containing traceable diacetyl. Many thanks to Dirk for sharing!

At the Westwood, CA location. Large, lightbrown head with light retention and lacing. Hoppier aroma than I expected (a bit hoppier than the P.M. Porter) and chocolatey. Taste is chocolate, sweet, and suprisingly hop forward. Alcohol is noticable. Mouthfeel is watery, while the bubbles are too fizzy.

On tap at Westwood, CA location. Good lacing and retention on the white head. Amber body. Malty aroma and an extremely suprisingly malty taste that goes nearly to the point of being chocolatey. Watery mouthfeel, goes down quite well. . .the whole pitcher of it.

Had at Westwood, CA location. Small white head disappears quickly. Nice, clear, orange body. Nice floral hop aroma. Taste is a bit too forward with the hops at first, but finishes a bit too watery. Somewhat fizzy and dry, but nice to drink.

Part of the sampler at the Westwood, CA location. Aroma is clove and honey. Pours with a murky gold body with a small white head. Taste is extremely strong of clove witha bit of vanilla to back it up (nearly too much clove). Mouthfeel is dry and fizzy.
